Marysville, OH
I have documented moving lights in the sky for May June and July of 2020. These sightings are in the middle of the night, between 2-4 am. They are over the rural are of Marysville Ohio. There is always one bigger and brighter than the rest, which form a line. They move in a hovering motion.

Ogontz, ME
Standing on the western shore of Moosehead Lake on the far northern end of the Lake . Bright object appeared as bright as a star or planet moving out of the west headed due East . Object moved very fast. At first it was thought to be a plane but then object exhibited unusual flight path. The object appeared to zig zag back and forth then continue forward . It dropped toward the south and was observed as a very bright ball of light in binoculars for a number of minutes then moved east into the distance disappearing in low clouds eastward. Not a plane .

2 Very bright pulses of light too far up In sky to be local aircraft. Not typical of higher altitude aircraft either. T hen object moved east fast and disappeared. No colored lights typical of aircraft. It reminded me of old time camera flash. Observed due east of North Star. No camera with us. Reminded us of single big plane light but jet moving backwards. It was that bright but extremely high altitude. Didn’t make sense to us.

I noticed a very brite star. The light coming off of it with the stars around made it so I could see all around it. I could see a shape like the edge of a disc or cigar with the light in the middle. I could also see it was gray. I focused on it trying to figure out what it was when I realized it was moving. It was moving slow in a jerking motion,then it went fast and stopped. I questioned myself if I was seeing it move when it turned around to come back. It made like a square U to come back. It was over me again. It started to do the slow jerking motion going a few feet to the left then went in reverse to where it started. It did the same to the right. After it went slow in a circle and back and forth it stood still. I tried to get pics and video but I only had my cell phone. After 5 minutes it went slow in a line then picked up speed and went over the mountain behind me. I drove to go around the mountain but never saw it again Summary No doubt what I saw over me

On the evening of July, 17th around 10pm I was outside my house observing comet Neowise with binoculars as well as taking photos with my phone’s camera. The comet was north-northwest of my position and about 10 degrees above the horizon, slightly to the north of the big dipper, which was roughly 25-35 degrees above the horizon. The sky was cloudless and very clear. At approximately 10:15pm I observed a pinpoint light moving from the horizon, just west of the comet, towards the bowl of the big dipper. This light was white/yellow and brighter than the background stars. To the naked eye it appeared to be slowly pulsing, or varying in brightness. It also was not travelling in a straight line, it meandered a few degrees to the left and to the right. I used trained the binoculars on it which did not further resolve any features but enhanced the pulsing, giving the impression that perhaps the object was tumbling. When it reached the middle of the bowl of the big dipper it changed directions entirely and started moving due east from my position, parallel to the horizon. My impression was that it was moving at the approximate speed of a plane at distance, or of a satellite, which are often easily observed from my location. I checked my plane tracking app and there were no planes flying in the area. Obviously due to the path of the object I knew it was not an artificial satellite. The object dimmed as it moved east but was still easily visible to the naked eye. Though I was tracking it with binoculars. In several minutes it moved about 30 degrees due east, at which point it came to a complete stop and I observed, through the binoculars, a much dimmer and smaller point of light approach it from the north, moving very rapidly. This second light passed “right” in front of the first object and quickly disappeared, and the first light then proceeded due east. At this point, approximately 10:15-10:20 pm I lost visual entirely due to my tree line. I texted an abbreviated version of the above to my wife who was camping with family 120 miles west of my position. She and another family member has observed the same light move in the same path, including going through the bowl of the big dipper. Meaning that the object must have been at significant altitude, ruling out planes and low earth orbit satellites.

Saw two or three objects high in sky while walking and they just disappeared. Shortly after saw a large glowing light hovering over pillar point, in the south sky. Object was quite large and similar to that of the sun in appearance. It would glow orange then not glow and a second object appeared and did same. This lasted about 45 min. Then both just took off without any sound and were out of sight in less than a second. Photos were taken. One thru binoculars.

I see movement in the sky on a daily . Almost every night. I have a old phone crappy camera but I finally got the unknown craft that I've seen come to my property and watches hovering over my house , . Somedays it comes lighting speed hovers right above me. It's almost like I know they gonna come be present. One of the times hovers just right above my roof, I got my dad to come see and instantly it shoots straight up in the sky no lights no sound and I see it there hiding in a cloud ( I have binoculars). My dad goes back inside. And within one second it shoots straight back at and it dims 3 solid no blinking red lights . But it hovers over me and it hits me with 1 extremely bright flash . Almost like it just took a picture of me. And its close above a one story house .one time I caught literally hiding on the very top of my tree in my backyard flashes at me like 4 times and totally invisible I see it on the opposite direction way far away not even in lik! e a second . But last night it came over to me same craft it came n go couple of times till I saw up to 4 or 5 type of jet planes all over the sky I have never seen so many planes come out of know where and it shoots out out of my sight within seconds. And of course hovers literally right over me maybe lil over 20 feet up and shoots me with a bright flash .blinding then it leaves when planes arrive I dont even know from where they came so fast.

This was the 3rd day in a row. The 1st was a white circle that didn’t move. The 2nd was like this one - black and oval. It moved quickly and vanished. The 3rd day is this one - it came closest. And if it wasn’t for a slow motion camera capturing my art I wouldn’t have witnessed it. It flies by quickly but the shape is oval black just like the day before.

Havertown, PA
I was looking at Saturn and Jupiter in the Eastern sky around 10 pm when I noticed a light traveling from the East heading northwest towards me. I assumed it was a plane because it was coming from the direction of Philadelphia International Airport. It made no sound so I assumed it was flying high but it seemed to be moving too fast if it was in high altitude. Then it seemed to stop and fade in brightness as it got smaller and smaller till it disappeared. I immediately thought I must be looking at a rocket heading out into space but that made no sense. The whole thing happened in a span of about ten seconds. I’m an amateur astronomer and quite familiar with the night sky and the planes that cross my region. This wasn’t a plane. It was a round bright object appearing slightly larger than Jupiter in the night sky. What struck me was how fast it all happened. I was thinking, “That’s funny, a plane coming from Philly and already that high in the sky?” Then it s! tops and heads out to o space? Weird. Did I see a UFO?

Hutto, TX
Came home from gas station and saw a bright light close to where the moon was but closer than the moon. i could not see any other stars out really and definitely not that bright. i downloaded a telescope/camera zoom lens for my phone and as I zoomed in on the light it was racing around at a very high velocity and changing shape. i snapped a few photos, some in normal filter, some in night/infrared filter, and when I examined the photos after I saw what appear to be some organic lifeform actually a few different lifeforms. one you can clearly make out a face of a "grey" with black spots where the eyes and mouth would be and a large cranium. the other looked more like a seahorse lifeform is the best way to describe it. I also noticed that around each of the bodies when outside the craft had little black dots encasing their bodies but in a geometrical adaptive way to their movement.

First spotted one at 10:30 pm, circular,lights around,top lights big,looking like glowing eyes, with a longer strait ship following behind. It sat mid air,no sound for 25 min before slowly moving foward. It spun on it's axis occasionally. At 4 am I went out to smoke, seen 3 craft, put on shoes and walked 6 blocks to 711, counted over 30 at various points in sky. Some close,some way up,it was a clear night,also some smaller oval shaped craft, I could look right up and see, clarity in sky was perfect. Next day,bout 7 pm, I seen one behind some cloud cover. That evening,circular craft, but counted like 12 to 15. Last night seen about 5 ,but they were further off, only one closer to the point could be seen clearly. The 4am walk,I called pd, airport PD,news, border patrol,. I showed a Westland PD officer, he and several others said it was a plane,but it never moved and finally turned showing circular shape. No one knew what it was.

The ufo was going around in a circle for about 8 minutes while we questioned what it could be. There is an airport close but it wasn't going in a straight path, it was circling. We don't have a stadium and the night was clear, it couldn't have been a light bright enough to show that high in the sky. After while we said it could be a ufo and then it zipped away without a sound, faster than any human vehicle.

Sandy, OR
These V-shaped lit up along edges of the v shape are in a constant hovering over all of night sky directly over Sandy Oregon from all directions. They have been up in night sky for many months now since before the GOVERNOR BROWN’S ATTEMY TO LOCK US ALL DOWN!!! These objects seem to acknowledge your presence and will come down over the top of you and or your Home and fly over at very low elevation overhead! They are very loud when passing over and yet very slow when passing overhead!!! I can video tape and take photos of these objects and when O have lightning outside changing colors as they do constantly it seems to make them REACT In a very curious manner like when my HOTTUB lights are changing colors that brings them right down from high elevation to cruise right overhead!!! Incredible and there is a bunch of bright flashing lights as well during this orbit hovering they do and a small round ORB like objects that come ahead of the HUGE triangle flying OBJEC! TS that are in a constant watch over all neighborhoods. Not sure what they are but they can be very aggressive toward us.

I was laying at the pool in a chair drying off before heading back upstairs to my apartment as I looked up toward the sky a flash caught my eye. I looked up to the nearest star and slightly below it I saw the flash repeat. There was about a five to seven second delay between flashes. It flashed about a total of 8 times and on that last time it disappeared and never came back . I noticed no motion at all while I was flashing. It seemed to be extremely high in the sky it looked like it could have been the brightest star in the sky flashing off and on slowly. I scanned the sky to see if it had moved position and was blinking elsewhere but I never saw it blink again. I was able to get about two minutes of video but it only shows up in the first 15 seconds.

Two pulsing orbs flying low..seem to be chasing each other. Same exact altitude, pulsing in synchronized timing . Came from the west moving extremely fast to the East. I have video, in the video the light seems to be transparent compared to other lights in the frame. Friend who lives 12 miles to the west of me saw exact same formation flying low enough to be obscured by her neighbor's house.

Riverside, CA
On the night of July 16th, a quarter before 10 PM, my friends and I were sitting on the roof of our car on an isolated hill to look at the city lights when we spotted a strange light in the skyline. It was a small, ovular shape emitting a whitish-yellow glow right above a set of hills in the distance. We all watched in silence for a couple minutes and noted that it couldn’t possibly be a plane as we saw many passing above in the sky. However, as we were watching the light, it disappeared right before our eyes, almost as if a giant, dark blanket was thrown over it. While we thought it was strange, we weren’t convinced it was an alien craft. But, about ten minutes after the light disappeared, we decided to head out and drive to a new overlook location higher up. As we were driving to the new location, towards the hills where we saw the light, it reappeared in the sky, this time much closer to us. This time we saw that whatever it was wasn’t attached to a radio tower, building, or anything else; the ovular craft was simply levitating. And this time, much quicker, the light disappeared again.

Firstly, some context: despite how odd it may sound, I spend every spare moment of my time documenting anomalies (both in the sky and at ground level), so I’m not reporting the following because the incident was unusual for me personally. Instead, I am reporting it because it occurred at 9:15 PM on the evening of July 16, 2020, and is VERY similar to the witness report made only 2 days later from Lakeview, Ohio, which I noticed on your homepage just this evening (October 19, 2020). I use your site as a resource for finding commonalities between my own experiences and what others may be seeing in roughly the same time frame, so I felt that it may be beneficial to someone if I reported this, seeing as how there was already one report made that was so similar – if there was a trend of sightings that week which occurred elsewhere, it may help to determine the path this anomaly was following during that time period (assuming that it is in fact the same object in the report from Ohio). The circumstances of the sighting were simple – I was conducting one of my regular, routine “sky watch” sessions and noticed this coming over, moving roughly south-to-north at approximately 9:15 PM. There was no sound associated with the object, and it moved steadily and slowly, without blinking. Unbeknownst to me, at some point prior to that, I had accidentally bumped the focus ring on the front of my camera (a Sionyx Aurora), and in the video you’ll hear me fussing because I can’t figure out why the camera wouldn’t come into sharp focus . It wasn’t until later that evening I figured out the problem, so unfortunately, the clip is slightly blurry.

At approx 8:45 I went outside to see if I could see the comet, which I could not, and a white orb - no blinking at all - caught my eyes to the NE. It came down very fast and I've seen 2 lights similar to it in recent months so I turned on my camera on Iphone and recorded video. It descended very fast and then hit what seemed to be a specific altitude and headed north at a slower pace and out of my view. I stayed outside and then witness a very similar light to my north again that travelled west for approx 2 secs before disappearing. It sort of faded into black within 1 second. I waited for another 30 mins before witnessing what appeared to be 3 of the same lights in a triangle formation flashing on and off. I waited for 20 more mins and did not see them again. I will submit the video and a blown up image of the first frame. If you scroll through the video frame by frame you can see the distinct shape of the object. Appeared disc shaped at times with! a dome. I know how that sounds, but you can see the picture.

Dunedin, FL
July 16, 2020 Dunedin Causeway Pics At the time I took the photos I didn't notice anything, only afterwards while looking at the photos did I notice this object. If you look at the three pictures in sequence they were all taken in the same minute. The object broke the clouds then disappeared before I took the next picture. I do not know how many seconds went by before the next picture was taken but it was in the same minute. I find it strange the object obviously moved the clouds but then could disappear and have no signs of changes in the clouds in the next picture. I guess the clouds move quick enough to fill in that space. Based on the size of the building below the object it would have to be pretty large, at least a 100’ across. Everyone tries to explain these sightings away but I can’t explain how this object moved the clouds and disappeared within seconds.

Death Valley National Park region, NV
I may have seen two UFOs this evening over the southern Nevada desert. I live near to the Air Force Nevada Test and Training Range for decades, and am familiar with all types of military aircraft and drones. These observations did not match any aircraft I have observed flying around the area. The observations verged on natural phenomena so I was not alarmed, but these were unusual . I work in the sciences and field biology, and am an active night sky astronomy fan for decades. I headed outside at early dusk just after sunset around 20:30 hours Pacific time, to check whether Comet NEOWISE was visible yet in the northwest sky, as I have doing all week. It was not yet visible. I have also been observing very bright Jupiter (magnitude -2.75) and Saturn rising in the lower sky to the southeast every evening. As I walked out into our rural driveway in the Mojave Desert I looked up and saw a bright “planet” which I first thought was Jupiter, as it was a similar bright white light high in the sky. Although I was somewhat confused as this seemed off the ecliptic and much higher after sunset –almost overhead—than Jupiter has been. I admired it for several seconds in the darkening blue dusk sky, just before stars were becoming visible. As I walked a few steps further around some trees I then noticed the real Jupiter and Saturn rising on the SE portion of the sky above the horizon, glowing as they have been during the past week. I became confused and placed my iPhone camera skywatch app onto this Jupiter, and it identified as Jupiter. I then looked back at what I had supposed was a very bright “Jupiter” and was even more confused to see it moving in a straight line heading due north in what appeared to be high in the sky. It was like a bright star or planet moving at an even speed like a jet aircraft, but with no blinking airplane lights. It appeared to be high in the sky like a jet airplane would be, but there was no sound and no appearance of sunlight reflecting off a high metal airplane. But I wondered if it was a strange military bomber heading to the Nevada Test and Training Range which has a boundary 10 miles to the east of my location. The object was similar in appearance to Jupiter as it is visible this week, but very slightly brighter. It seemed to move somewhat faster than a typical jet, but slow enough I could see it move clearly and follow it with my eyes. It continued “flying” at an even speed to the north until it was blocked by trees and I lost it. I was confused and thought it must be a strange military bomber jet, although it was stationary when I first observed it, like a bright planet first appearing in the dusk sky just after sunset. The white light was circular like Jupiter appears through binoculars. This happened before the stars and night sky appeared, and there was still some sunset “alpenglow” on the desert mountains. I have never seen anything like it, although it was not large or flashy. Later that evening around 21:40 my husband and I watched Comet NEOWISE for a few hours into the night, dark Moon so excellent viewing and no city light pollution in the Death Valley region. We were sitting in the yard with binoculars admiring the comet. The night sky was now very dark and full of stars. A small white light then appeared in our view in the northwestern sky, low, and traveled in a slow straight line to the east. It traveled perfectly straight and at an even speed. My husband asked what was that? I put my binoculars on it and saw no flashing green or red airline lights as was typical. Just a white pinpoint of light. I said I did not know what that was. I wondered if it was a satellite, although it was not rotating and catching sunset light as satellites often do, nor was it traveling overhead across the night sky, but low on the northern horizon from west to east, again towards the Nevada Test and Training Range. We both thought it was unusual and wondered if i! t was a military aircraft. It passed under the view of the comet. My husband said it was traveling faster than a normal commercial airline, but it was slow enough that I could fix my binoculars on it and see the white point of light, no apparent shape and not appearing to be something reflecting high altitude sunlight—but more like it was producing its own light like a bight star. It passed out of view to the NE and we were left wondering what that seemingly distant traveling light object was. No sound, no contrail, no tail.
