My sister, age 55, my son, age 30, myself, age 62 and my husband, age 66, saw the object moving in the low sky coming from the southeast moving north. It was a round ball, bigger than the object my husband and I saw 2 nights ago. It had a very bright center and a glowing reddish light surrounding the object. No trail was left. It moved slowly enough in a straight line that I could go inside and the house to get my binoculars. It was moving north and seemed to be ascending into the sky getting smaller. Then, it vanished.

I was driving to dutch bros when I saw a bright greenish object passing by Medford at incredible speeds. This object was not MAN MADE. It also made a sound like a trumpet type sound with weird eerie effects to the sound. My witnesses are me and 2 other dutch bros employees.

Canterbury, CT
I was facing South/South-East when I looked up to the sky and saw a bright reflection. A small silver sphere/dot was floating without any movement about 60 degrees above the horizon line. It sat there and floated for about 30-45 minutes with no movement that I could see, eventually I lost sight as clouds drifted in. I was working on a farm at the time, the object seemed very far away regarding its size.

Devil's Lake, ND
4 white pulsating lights followed distantly by a large slower moving helicopter. The lights stayed perfectly distanced from one another creating a rectangular shape. They blinked one at a time in what seemed to be an organized pattern from top left, top right, bottom right, bottom left, and repeated this as long as it could be seen. I followed the lights and the helicopter but was unable to match speed. I noted that my car radio had a weird feedback at this time, and I was listening to a CD versus a radio station. Also, my headlights seems to flicker which is unusual. I attempted to take a picture in my phone if this, but it was too dark and nothing shows on it

Not sure outside lubeck, WV
Myself the processor & 2 of my children drove out in the country side to remove ourselves from light pollution to search for the comet neowise. A few minutes after arriving I spotted what I believed to be the comet. It appeared as a white ball of light with a streaking tail. Just below & to the left of the big dipper. We were facing northwest. When I spotted it I told the children to get out of the car that I found the comet. When my oldest child got out & spotted the object he said "dad there's no way that's a comet. Its moving too fast." I immediately realized he was exactly right. In the matter of seconds it took for them to exit the vehicle the object had traveled from below to the left of the big dipper to far above and so far to the right of it, it wasn't even in the vicinity of the dipper anymore. Believing at this point it must be an airplane. We continued to track it through the sky. It very quickly descended to far below the big dipper to! the right and continued on that path. While tracking it through the sky eyes fully on it, it instantly disappeared and within maybe 3 seconds reappeared slightly above and to the right of the big dipper. It sat motionless like a star for a matter of seconds. Having my camera ready for pictures of the comet, when it reappeared I took a picture while it was still. Then it dramatically took off to the right. I also took a picture of this. As I was looking through my camera I again lost sight of the object. I lowered my camera and searched the sky. I found the object again in a lower position far to the right of the big dipper. Perhaps in the northeast direction. With my camera zoomed as far as possible I was able to get one last picture. The object then dramatically moved in an upward direction to the left. Towards northern direction and disappeared from sight. The last picture I took, although the object appeared as a white ball of light to our eyes. The picture displayed something appearing triangular with a circular field of white light around it. 3 aircraft passed over head while we were at this location. All 3 had blinking red lights in conjunction with a central white light. They all moved in a true pattern and appeared to be much lower in altitude. My oldest child 14 was so disturbed they became frightened and wanted to leave immediately.

Fort Collins (West of), CO
On the evening of July 15, My friend and I were camping in a remote area about 50 miles west of fort collins, Colorado. Around 10:30 PM, as we were stargazing through the clear sky, we witnessed two dim objects resembling distant stars traveling parallel to each other northwards. They seemed to be outside our atmosphere, as they did not shoot across the sky, rather they just slowly glided. After a few seconds of traveling side by side, the bottom object began to veer off downwards in an unpredictable, jagged motion while the top object continued its path northward. After seconds of this, they each became too dim to see. We agreed that we had never seen anything like that before and that it was unexplainable.

Klamath Falls, OR
I was looking in the sky for the comet Neowise, and before I went into the house I looked to the southern sky and saw a "V" shaped translucent or "cloaked" craft approximately 40ft wide 50ft long with 5 round very dim lights (1 light at the front or nose and 3 on each side underneath the craft) moving about 100mph,500 feet above the ground and totally silent. It came from the southeast and kept heading northwest. It was almost unnoticeable but the distortion of the sky and stars as it passed over gave it away. It was thrilling to see but gave me a spooky feeling as well. This is my first UFO sighting and I felt I needed to report a craft with this capability flying through our airspace undetected.

Superior, WI
I was driving home from my boyfriend's house which is about a 10 minute drive. About a minute into my drive home, 3 very bright lights come flying over the top of my car and soar through the sky, but were very high up and looked very far away. The 3 lights then aligned horizontal in the sky, still moving. The middle light and far right light had a white glow to them, while the far left light had a yellow/orange tint to it. Suddenly, the 3 lights separated and the far left light, soared all the way to the left and disappeared. At this point I don’t see any of the 3 lights. I then am stopped at a stop sign on a kind of main road in my town, but there were no other cars or anyone else around this time of night. As I’m stopped at the stop sign, all the street lights that line the streets go out as if they all lost power. They were out for maybe 30 seconds. I have never seen this happen in my town before. I start driving again and then appear the 2 white glowing ! lights again in the sky. I drive a few more blocks and I just happen to look to my left, and floating in the sky at the end of the road to my left, is the glowing yellow/orange light from before. I keep driving and the 2 white lights are still in the sky. I then need to take a left turn to get home & a car coming the direction towards me on the other side of the road had its headlights & brights on and were so bright I shut my eyes. When I opened my eyes to make my turn, the lights were gone.

Ankeny, IA
Conditions were very clear. I was in my back yard looking to the south. I then noticed a bright object approaching from the south, moving to the north and then curing to the northeast. I could not make out a shape. The object only appeared to be a very bright, a very brilliant white light. As it approached directly over head. It appeared to slow down and almost stop. It redirected course to the east. In this sense it did not behave like a satellite. There was some minor cloud cover to the east and as the craft entered the area of clouds, it seemed to dim. Giving the impression that it was above the clouds. The object made no sound.

I was in my backyard (off-duty) and looking to the south-southwest. I observed a bright white object moving quickly from the southwest to the east. It moved erratically and pulsated sometimes flashing different colors. It seemed to be very far away. This was the same night the ISS was supposed to cross our horizon however this was not it, I spotted the ISS about 1 hour later using sky view app and observed it come from the western horizon and travel north east. I took video of the object I saw, a short clip. In the video you’ll hear my fire in the background and see an ember fly up, that is to be ignored.

Dartmouth, MA
UFO sighting Over South Dartmouth around 9:15pm on 7-15-20, 6 people spotted 2 bright lights appear out of nowhere simultaneously in the sky to our South. They were bright and looked as big and as bright comparatively to the brightest star/planet that was in the sky at the time. There were no flashing lights, no sound, no contrail, and no definitive shape to it other than a single bright light. One was closer to us flying about where a lower airplane would be and started traveling East in a straight trajectory about as fast as an airplane until it finally got so far it was behind trees and houses and out of view within about 5 minutes from when it appeared. The second light that had appeared looked exactly the same but appeared higher and further away than the other. It traveled up and East then seemed to head South away from us, faded quickly and disappeared within 30 seconds from when we first saw it. After about 15-20 minutes of looking at the sky wondering what we just saw, we could hear an actual airplane coming and flew over us from behind the trees to our south west traveling north east over our house. As we watched it directly overhead, 3 of us saw a third bright light appear in front and to the right of the plane. The three of us jumped up at the same time to get a better look. The light was maybe a little higher than where the plane was flying and moved in front of the plane from right to left (northwest direction) and not straight but around the nose of the plane as if avoiding it. Then the light quickly faded to red and disappeared. Later that night I was heading inside the house just before 11:00pm and in the sky to my northeast this time i saw a forth bright light as the one first described traveling in the same eastern trajectory in the exact same fashion. No flashing lights, sounds, shape, or contrail. Same height in the sky and this time being maybe 2-3 miles north of me i could definitively say it was not in outer space. It too flew at a constant speed from west to east and i watched it until it was too far away and out of view behind trees and houses. It took about 5 minutes for it to go across the sky and out of sight, enough time for me to call 3 other people to the porch to take a look.

Ocean Isle Beach, NC
A light of unusual characteristics was observed at 9:15 (approx). The light had no additional anti-collision lights - no flashing or blinking lights at all, no colored lights - none of the typical aircraft indicator lights typically seen with nighttime flight. The light initially was mistaken as a planet, because of the static lighting and lack of movement. After several minutes (~2min), however, the light began slowly moving/drifting across the sky to th NE. It was positioned almost directly overhead - perhaps 5° from zenith. The movement was too slow to indicate a meteor, and it was almost as bright as Venus in the night sky, although the wrong location. It was also far too bright to be a satellite, generally speaking; and because it also had a significant period of no movement, it appears that it would not be a satellite. There was absolutely no noise. I have had one or two "sightings" before, typically of "metallic" craft or fast-moving lights, but this one was different. It gave a distinct impression of something in observation mode (although I realize this is injecting too much opinion). Overall, an interesting mystery.

Lowell, MA
While walking our dogs, my wife and I noticed a bright squared shaped light slowly rotating with another squared shape light. The two lights then proceeded to almost stack on top of each other & move east. The formation then stayed stationary and two red/green lights formed a triangular formation with the stacked lights. The light to the right of the stacked lights then moved west at a high rate of speed and was pulsating a dull light. We also noticed that all the stars in the sky seemed to form a triangular formation. The big dipper constellation was also highly visible.

Hellertown, PA
I was walking my dog behind my townhouse when I noticed a red "fireball" moving toward me in the sky. It reminded me of the embers that rise from a bonfire or the light ball that represents a fairy in movies. It moved very fast and then seemed to hover for a few moments before veering off to my left in the direction of Allentown and then just disappeared. I stood there for a few moments thinking WTF did I just see then continued to allow my dog to sniff around but stayed pretty much in the same spot. I looked up again a few minutes later and saw the exact same thing, coming from the same direction and behaving in exactly the same way. I heard my neighbor come out of their place and i called him over. He watched the second one with me. It did the exact same peel off toward Allentown and then after a distance just disappeared. My dog did not respond to either sighting. We saw planes on their normal flight path from ABE airport in Allentown but they ! all looked normal and did not appear to be anywhere near whatever it was we saw.

My wife, mother in law, and two friends were on my pontoon boat on the Great Sacandaga Lake in Mayfield, New York. It was 20:00 on 7/15/20 and we were anchored just off Beacon island on the south end of the lake. My mother in law said, “What is that in the sky?” Just seconds after discussion of the comet that was supposed to be visible that night. We all looked up and saw a white cylindrical object high in the sky. I am a private pilot and I would estimate the object to be around 20,000ft to 30,000ft or possibly even higher in the sky. It appeared to be above the cirrus clouds. The sky was blue except for a few clouds. The object did not move at all and stayed in the same exact spot for about thirty minutes. It was eventually obstructed by cirrus clouds as they moved under the object. We attempted to take photos of the object but none of the photos came out clear enough. I wondered if it was a star or planet, however the sun was not set yet and there! were no other objects or stars anywhere else in the sky. This object looked very much out of place. I questioned if it was a weather balloon but like I stated above, the object never moved from this spot. It never appeared larger or smaller as if it was ascending or descending. It stayed completely still and the size did not appear to change. It was white in color, assuming it was reflecting sunlight and we were unable to properly identify the color. Several hours later, my friend sent me a screenshot of the object that someone took in Johnstown, NY. About 15 minutes south of our position. This picture was much more clear than our blurry photos and the object looked more like and unidentified flying object. Not just a weather balloon. This object did not make any noise. All photos will be sent via email. The photos took from my boat were taken at 20:03. I do not have a time the photos were taken from Johnstown, however is was roughly the same timeframe.

Driving on hwy 53 north around 6:30 pm. Mostly sunny skies the driver in the truck I was ridding in just him & me. He looks straight up where the roof meets the windshield. He goes what is that as I'm looking at him I look up. See what looks like a bug splat on windshield. It drops directly out of the sky. Right near the hwy hovering for like 5 seconds then it takes off so fast it disappears. Big silver metallic ball. When it shot down our of sky I could see what looked like windows around the bottom. It happened fast total time maybe 15 seconds or less. We are true believers we know we seen saucer in the daylight.

I was sitting alone outside watching tv on my Samsung Galaxy Tab A. By some random chance I saw what looked like a tiny black dot moving in and out of some clouds. It moved relatively slowly from what my compass shows as 157.2 degrees to 347.5 degrees through the sky. There was no sound from the craft. I quickly switched on my video function on the tablet. In the background I think you can hear an airplane in the distance. This is very common where I live - there are always planes flying over our housing plan. I thought it was odd for a craft to be flying so high when there are airplanes close by on a regular basis. After watching the video I took and zooming in on the round craft, I dismissed it in my mind as probably a drone. However, due to the craft being so high and going through clouds, it might be of some interest and be considered unidentified. The "black dot" did not seem to change shape and was flying at a steady rate of speed. ! I lost sight of the craft when it flew over my house.
