Close to Smith Mountain lake. Observed numerous orbs and one "tic tac" shaped craft. Crafts where white/silver in color. The weather was clear (90°) at Smith mountain lake, near the dam. The orbs flew sporadically while the tic tac hovered in position at high altitude.

Watching it fly away, we noticed an odd-looking constellation. Upon closer observation, it appeared to be either a cluster of U.F.O', a Mothership, or some other huge robotic looking structure in the sky.

My daughter and I were driving, and a very bright pink light appeared in the sky. I immediately pulled over and we were both saying “what is that?” It was still and very bright, the color of a flare but the light was massive. We were in the middle of the country. As soon as I pulled my phone out to take a picture it disappeared. It didn’t trail off, it was like it vanished into thin air. We were both in shock and couldn’t move while it was visible. I’ve never seen anything like it. I hope that others saw this too.

We had a very strange experience today when we were leaving our house and all of a sudden or computer or radio or dvd everything stopped working when we are going to the beach as we proceeded to the beach we were heading down to Walton rocks right by the St Lucie nuclear power plant and on our way there we just happened to pass an area where me and my wife used to frequent with my mother and as we were talking the next thing that happened was we ended up being on the other side of the St Lucie nuclear plant and we don't even know how we got there or how we would have missed the nuclear plant as we've been to Walton rocks many times before and something happened cuz we noticed that there was a lapse of about 22 maybe 30 minutes in time on our clocks and our radio was not working or computer or navigation everything was not working in our vehicle that seats to work and we were driving and we kept on saying where is the nuclear pants because we thought we never! pass them and lo and behold we found out that we were about almost 5 miles past the nuclear plants coming into Fort Pierce and we felt that we might have been abducted by a alien craft that was above the St Lucie nuclear plant because we would have never missed not seeing the nuclear plant by driving by it and everything was very strange because our radio after we went and parked back at the Walton rocks and we shot you're talking about what happened to us and we were just having some weird things that happened to us that day that there's too many things to mention that it's very hard to understand we were watching Ancient Aliens later that night and they were talking about aliens and UFOs over nuclear plants on the show called alien hunters and we found that very remarkable and very strange and all of this not being coincidental so we just want to say that we are just two average people that we believe in aliens and UFOs and we had this occurrence and my wife when she was! younger about 14 years old she had an alien experience where ! she saw an alien UFO with her mother and her aunt and other family members when she live in Lakeport Florida where the UFO which was a flying disc when they were driving home in the car it was following them along side of the road for almost 10 minutes and it was a shiny and it had porthole windows and her story is just fascinating so we wondering if there's a connection that something that with past experiences with aliens and UFOs could have something to do with this so we want to report this as we feel we were abducted today and there are some things that are going strange or we're hearing things in her head like mind telepathy and we think that we were seeing each other in a spacecraft looking each other with some alien humanoid bees watching over us but that's all we can remember it's just too many weird things that happened to us today that were very different that I'm not even mentioning a lot of things

Orange/Red oval shaped light, bright as a firefly but not flickering. It was the size of a small aircraft and travelling about the same altitude and speed as a small craft... no sound. It moved from east to west and then started to move south; as it moved south the size diminished and finally faded from view after a few seconds.

My wife and I were out in our back yard taking pics of comet Neowise. She had gone to sit down. I noticed a bright light with what appeared to be a light bluish beam far off to the west. I went back and got the camera from my wife and started filming as it began to pass over the area. She did not see it due to where she was sitting. I had gone further into the back yard away from the trees so I could get a better view. It seemed about 1500 feet up traveling from west to east, there was no noise coming from it at all. It was as bright as burning magnesium but with what seemed to be a bluish tint. There were no blinking lights like normal aircraft. I have been an amateur astronomer for about 35 years and have never seen anything like this before. I can give a copy of the video but my internet is very slow.

I observed 2 round shapeshifting objects in the sky in the parking lot of my shop. All of a sudden, the smaller oject quickly moves away from the larger one, and stops. They change color from green to red to a yellowish color, sometimes seeming to explode, then reform their shape. They do not move with the the stars or planets. I have observed these objects for a few months. Sometimes they just disappear completely, then reappear.

I was imaging comet NEOWISE at my observatory Rolling Hills Observatory (V83) and a noticed coming out the west a very fast moving reddish yellow light. It traveled directly overhead and there was no sound at all. I have seen a lot of A.F. aircraft around Whiteman AFB and this was nothing like I have seen. I am a retire Naval aircrewman with 20 years experience in P3 Orion patrol aircraft. I also have 18 years experience as an amateur astronomer and so I know it was not a fireball or meteor.

Two crafts about a thumbs lengths apart from the ground, each craft is composed of five lights in a .•.•. pattern. Seen in the exact same place and same distance apart in the sky between 11pm and 1am every night for about 2 weeks now. Appears and vanishes faster than a blink but always in the same time frame. Neighbors dog goes crazy every time they appear and stops when they vanish.

I was sitting on my patio on Saturday July 18th about 11:00 pm when I saw an orange object fly from the south north towards Lake Erie. The orange light dimmed then disappeared. When it dimmed two more orange objects followed in the same direction and disappeared. When those lights dimmed three more orange objects flew in the same direction and disappeared. Then two more orange objects appeared and flew in the same direction and disappeared. When they disappeared another orange object followed and disappeared. Altogether there were 9 orange objects. The show lasted approximately 10 minutes. I would have loved to film them but my phone was in my purse in my office and I did not want to try to retrieve it. The objects looked to be a small cone shape.

Lawrence, KS
At 10:48pm CT in Lawrence, Kansas sky gazing in the parking lot of Rock Chalk Park a local recreation center near the outskirts of the city I witnessed the following over the course of about 6-8 seconds: A large teardrop shaped flying object appeared in the sky. The object forked at the end and the two ends of the tear drop didn’t quite touch . I could see the space between the two arms of the teardrop shape. The object had a yellow hallow around it as if it were glowing. The flying object was around 4 inches long in the sky and appeared to be as close to the earth as you would see an airplane or a jet. The object was moving from the SW (near Highway 10 entrance) to the NE (toward Queens Rd) and was flying straight and seemed to be moving both fast and slow at the same time. It covered the sky from point A to point B at a distance of about a 85 degree angle in about 7 seconds and then disappeared, it was completely silent.

I submitted a report earlier but have since found a reasonable explanation from a fellow camper at the same campground, when I posted it on social media: “ As I was leaving Saturday at 10:30 I saw a group of people launching one of those “memorial” hot air mini balloons that you light a fire on a pan suspended under a paper “balloon” over by the little pond. Sounds like that’s what you saw.”

Sullivan, Ohio, Saturday July 18, 10:31 PM. Sighting occurred while sitting on the deck at our camper on a partly cloudy night. We saw a roundish, glowing, orange ball glide across the sky from south to north. It moved with the silence, steadiness, and speed of a satellite but it was definitely below the clouds and visible to the horizon, where we lost sight of it due to trees. It was a soft orange glow; easily visible but not bright, just a glowing ball of fire gliding across the sky. My husband, the typical naysayer who doesn’t believe anything he cannot see for himself said “Well, it took almost 60 years but there it is; I don’t know what that was.”

Bright ball of white light looked like a satellite flew straight across horizon but gave a huge flash similar to a camera flash but created a circle of light as bright the moon. Afterwords appeared to put on afterburners to gain speed as it flew off straight into the horizon. My question is flash photography necessary or used with our satellites or military recon aircraft? If not that may leave me with more questions...

Orange orb floating above at an altitude (it seemed) if a plane. It’s patterns were irattic but smooth like. Hovering some. After viewing and then I got my cell phone out and video’ d some of it. After around 5 or 6 minutes between “live viewing” and my phone camera, it took off from a standstill in a straight line across the entire sky heading N at a speed I have never witnessed before. So unprecedented in speed.

Odd ‘Drone’ Sighting, Greenfield, New Hampshire Location: Slope of Crotched Mountain, Greenfield, NH Date: July 18, 2020 Conditions: Partially cloudy with haze / warm and humid, approximately 75 F Duration of sighting: 5-7 minutes My wife and I hiked up to a viewing platform on the slope of Crotched Mountain in Greenfield, NH, hoping to get a glimpse of Comet Neowise in the northwest sky after twilight. Local sunset was at 8:20 pm. We stayed on the viewing platform until 10:00 pm, and though we didn’t see the comet due to thick haze near the northwest horizon, we did see something strange. At about 9:40 pm, after looking at stars around the Summer Triangle, I turned to look south facing the direction of North Pack Monadnock which is about 10 miles away as the crow flies. I immediately noticed a very bright stationary light that appeared to flicker. It was orange-red in overall color, and in binoculars was very bright, so bright it ruined my night vision. It was at least several times brighter than Venus at its brightest, and my first thought was it must be a Drone, though it was much brighter than any other night flying drone I’ve ever seen. It was also completely quiet, and I could hear no whir of propeller blades. It was hard to tell how high in the sky it was, but our elevation was close to 1,000 feet, and I’d guess this object was at least that high at it was straight out from our viewing position. Through 10 X 40 binoculars I could discern no clear shape, with the object flashing bright red and yellow-orange lights, though in no regular pattern. At one point it appeared that either the object or lights were rotating, though it was hard to tell if they were stationary and flashing or moving. At one point I thought I saw a silvery background color under the other lights, but they were changing so fast it was hard to tell. It stayed motionless for at least two minutes. After this time the object suddenly dimmed by at least 50%, and then proceeded to move slowly but steadily off towards the east, from time to time being obscured by trees in front of us. Once it entered a clearing between trees I could tell that there was a brighter red leading light and a fainter, almost pink trailing light. I would assume they were fixed to the body of the object but that too was difficult to discern. It then moved beyond our viewing range as it continued heading to the east / northeast. It made no sudden directional or velocity changes, but moved steadily. We estimated that it must have traveled several miles during the time we had a good look at it. Drones in New Hampshire are supposed to be operated in line of sight, and there was no way this object was in the line of site of one individual operator for the duration of the event. I’d like to know if other such odd ‘drones’ have been sighted in New England recently.

Daughter called me on phone and told me to look up strait into the sky.Wife and I observed cigar shaped craft iminating a hazy orange and purplish haze. Took picture on cellphone and enlarged and noticed a smaller sqaure shaped object ashort distance from Object. Similar to what I have seen when Castle Airforce base was in operation. A strategic air command. If I can a picture to you I will.

At approximately 17:00 Hrs. on Saturday July 18, 2020 Spotted a bright object hovering nearly directly overhead at Latitude 037 deg. 19' 34.0062 N, Longitude -120 deg.-28' -49.7484 W. Looked at object with Binoculars and it appeared to be a bright ring of light. Called a family member who is approximately 4 miles away at Latitude 037deg. 19' 52.0422 N , Longitude -120 deg. -28 -44.5434 W. He also looked at the objected with binoculars and identified it as having a bright ring. The object remained in place as the sun and began to dim as the sun approached the horizon. As the object dimmed I began to see a bright flashing white light in the center of the ring. At about 5 minutes after sunset the ring had completely faded away and the flashing light was no longer visible.

Mirror Lake area, UT
We were camping close to Moosehorn lake in the Uintas mountains of Utah. We were camping Offroad in a remote area. Towards the direction of Mirror lake Utah, about 9am we saw a tiny white dot in the sky. It appeared much higher than the flight of any jets. 15x binoculars showed a concave bottom disk Shaped object. At first I thought maybe something like a NASA parachute or a weather balloon but after watching it for a half hr or so it was still in the area. It was miles high and distant to us but it was white and definitely had a concave (in the center 50%) base. We eventually went back to packing up camp and left. I’m still trying to figure out what it was. The day was clear and bright.

I was letting my dog out in the back yard to use the bathroom and something caught my attention in the sky . it was a slow moving almost hoovering white solid thing. It was not as high as a plan would be in the sky . it had no kind of wings or propeller or anything that would make it noticable able to fly . it moved slow but direct . as if it had a purposeful direction and wasnt floating aimlessly. I took a couple pictures . my phone was almost dead so i could not get a video . with the sun in ths view of my screeni was able to get pics not the best but i did get some

Red Top Mountain, GA
While camping for the first time with my friend and 2 children, 19 and 12 years old. I heard a sound of something hovering or making a low vibratory sound moving through the campsite. At first I thought it was a drone but it would have had to been a pretty large drone to make that sound and furthermore the lights that were beaming through our tent were almost blinding. I tapped my friend to alert him to what I was hearing and seeing but he only caught the tail end of the sound and the lights diminished as the object moved further into the Forest. We both agreed that it was quite bazaar and we asked questions the next day to see if anyone else had any information we could make since of. One person thought it could have been the security boats passing through but wouldn’t explain the movement through the camp site. That night we went to sleep around 11pm and I woke to dogs barking pretty aggressively in the distance. The owners were able to calm them down so I again fell fast asleep and was awakened by the same sound as lights but this time I saw who I thought was my 19 year old son sitting quietly in a meditative pose for close to 10-15 min. It was strange to see him sitting in the dark that way but I decided not to disturb him just in case he was praying or meditating and I drifted back off to sleep. That morning during breakfast I asked him was he ok and why he was wearing a black hoodie in the tent being that it was so hot. He looked at me weird and said that he didn’t bring a hoodie. I then asked him if he was meditating. He said he fell to sleep shortly after we the rest of us fell asleep because he was kind of creeped out by some moving shadows around him at the campfire. I asked over and over if he was sure that he didn’t wake up and sit straight up for at least 10 min. He insisted that he never got up once and that he was dead sleep until this morning. So, who was the hooded person dressed in black in my tent? And how did they get in without us hearing the zipper being unzipped? I have so many questions!!! I’m not sure if we will go camping again.
