This is my second encounter with this ball of flashing light. The light was stationary in the air and was sparkling much brighter than a star for around a minute and a half, and then immediately shot up just a bit, and zoomed away into the clouds far away behind it. I do have video.

The streaking flash of light seemed to move from an arrow shaped streak to a pencil line of light as it disappeared in a white flash. The velocity at which it was moving was well beyond the speed any aircraft could traverse in the three seconds its streak manifested.

I glanced out my window looking towards the mountains and I saw a light on top of a mountain it then went behind the mountain and then it rose up behind the mountain then the light grew dimmer and dimmer as it flew away. This the third day in a row I've noticed it.

7 of us were out on the driveway ,our contractor looked up into the sky not quite directly overhead and spotted a round doughnut shaped object . It wasn't moving . It was an orange/yellow color which we figured was probably a reflection from the sun setting. I live near the beach . We got the binoculars and we were all able to see it clearly...there was a distinct hole in the middle. The inversion layer clouds were starting to roll in ..so after about 5 minutes of clear view with and without the binoculars, it wasn't able to be seen.

It zigzagged a couple of inches then came straight towards us and stopped. It was still up about 1500 feet or higher. We watched it stay in place for a about 2 minutes. Then it began to raise backwards between the two star . It was moving away from us, getting smaller and smaller. Then it disappeared. We are both in our early 60's, educated and work in good jobs. We live in a small residential area north of a small metropolitan area. Neither of us think this is a drone because of its height in the sky.

As my flight from Seattle/Tacoma International airport to Dallas was making its initial ascent, I observed a very odd object that was descending below us headed generally NW and at a rapid pace. I was sitting in the first-class cabin on the left side of the aircraft looking out of my window. The object was a single unit that looked like three metallic red round orbs that were connected. It flashed across my view and seemed to be moving at a downward angle. During my frequent air travel, I have seen multiple small aircraft passing below my view, and they have always been easily identified as small jets or airplanes. This immediately caught my attention as an oddity. I estimate the size to have been about the size of a VW Bug. I can make the estimation of size purely on my perception of distance. Because the red metallic color was so clear, I believe the craft passed no more than 1000 feet below us. NUFORC Notte: We spoke via telephone with the source of the report, and we found him to be quite sober-minded. We suspect that he is an exceptionally capable witness. PD

My mother and I were sitting on my back porch having coffee around 11:00 AM, enjoying the beautiful sunny day, when I looked up and saw the object hovering. It looked like a golf ball suspended in the sky. I could see it had dimension with my naked eye, but found it very hard to capture it with my phone camera as clear as I could see it. The object did not move, it stayed stationary the whole time. We watched it for about a half hour. We went inside for about 15 minutes and when we returned the object was gone. The sky was clear, not a cloud in sight, so it simply disappeared and didn’t just move in the sky like the moon would or any other celestial object. I shared the pictures I took to our local Facebook forum to see if anyone else in town had seen the object as well. No one else claimed to have seen it, but many had explanations, all of which were not possible. Some had suggested it was the International Space Station, and to my knowledge the space station moves in the sky. This was stationary and seemed to be in our atmosphere, not in orbit, because I could see it had dimension (shadows on the edges). Others had said it could be a weather balloon, but again, it would have moved, even a little. I would love to hear some professional opinions. This was one of the strangest things I have ever seen. I would like some feedback as to what this could possibly be.

Tuesday morning 7/14/20. Was on deck reading. Husband was reclining in chair watching dragonflies darting back and forth above him. Called me over to look at something he spotted in the sky. Looked up and way above the clouds spotted an odd oval grayish something in the sky. Way too high for any type of bird, or drone. No movement, just sat there. Off to the east was a jet heading west (with a jet stream behind it). Object was higher than jet. As jet came closer to being below object, it shot off extremely fast to the west. Still in our view, it stopped, sat a moment then shot off again to the south. We always look for a logical explanation, but couldn't explain this.

Last night on July 14th at 9 or so this big bright light was flying over my house maybe 100 feet up in the sky traveling on a northeast trajectory. Craft was completely silent and travelled several miles in minutes.The three witnesses including myself just stared in silence its like we were frozen watching this thing. It was one of the most surreal events in my life. It was amazing and scary all at once.

I felt something watching me and I looked out the window of my balcony and noticed a very bright star. It was foggy outside so i was curious how the light was so bright. I then pulled my phone out and started recording and also noticed an airplane with red blinking lights hovering next to it. Almost like it was supervising the UFO. I continued to record and the focus on my camera kept going in and out. I saw a disc shape circle. Hovering idle in the sky.

I saw what people are calling starlink in the northeast sky close to excelsior springs and they were coming down slowly to land on the earth. Almost straight down, semi-evenly spaced stars. it could not be starlink, they were not falling, they were decending slowly. i could not see the ground where they were heading.

I was standing on my freinds front porch when I saw this light in the sky. At first I thought maybe it was an airplane or satellite until it begin moving as if it were floating in the sky. It was unclear what it was as it was obviously far away. I started recording it because I never thought anyone would believe me if I didn’t have some sort of proof. It was a mistake to stop recording because shortly after I continued to watch it in the sky because I had never witnessed something so unusual. After I stopped recording it was still far away but it looked so much clearer that it was an object moving in the sky and I watched it vanish with a big flash of light.

My friend and I were in his horse pasture early in the morning. We were writing music in this time as it is our only free time outside of work. We did not spot a craft but rather moving lights that are definitely not satellites. We witnessed two faint red lights- one above the other in a vertical formation. They seemed almost attached to each other. Think of a baton with one light on one end and another light on the other. The lights were floating upward in the sky in a vertical formation then slowly turned horizontal whilst getting higher in the sky- then slowly faded out. We noticed about 10 minutes later- the lights were in the vertical formation again but were a few hundred feet from their original location.

Completely clear night, the moon was rising and you could see it though the trees. Then flash the first flash was super bright like a camera flash, no sound I waited for thunder but nothing. Then it flashed a total of 4 more times each flash dimmer than the one before. No clouds a beautiful clear night sky full of stars, no noises it was completely silent.

Around midnight I stepped outside to smoke a cigarette, I looked up into the sky and saw a small blue light with no discernible shape traveling from the southwest and heading north. Its rate of speed was incredible. It paused and sped up three time in a matter of a few seconds before it disappeared from view. I attempted to get my phone out to take a picture but wasn’t quick enough. Oddly a few minutes after the light was out of my view a plane flew over heading in the same direction and then a few minutes after that another plane flew over heading in the same direction. All in all it was a very odd experience. I’ve been in the military for over 20 years and have seen many different types of aircraft and I can positively say that I have no idea what this object could have been.

I was sitting outside and saw this craft out of the corner of my eye. It was just a very bright orb that was going in a straight line. It didn't make any sound at all. Compared to how high commercial airlines fly it was much lower than that. We watched it for about 3-5 minutes just flying in a very straight line until it disappeared over the trees. There was no blinking lights on it either, no wings. Just one solid orb that was very bright. Not saying it was a UFO at all just very very weird. It didn't seem like a satellite either because it was so low. It was around 8:40-8:45 pm on July 14, 2020. I'm also dumb for not grabbing my phone as well. It was just so intriguing that we didn't think about grabbing phones. Stupid I know.

There was a bright white light (a little brighter than Venus), which appeared to be very high up but moving very quickly across the sky. I t was moving SSW to NNE, and took maybe two minutes to move from one horizon to the other. It was moving in a generally straight line, but was wiggling or oscillating back and forth slightly as it flew (maybe 0.1 degrees amplitude, maybe one period per second).

I live on top of a big hill in our town, and you can see pretty far in all directions. II went outside at around 11:00 PM because I thought I heard our cat scratching at the door. When I went out onto our front porch, I noticed that the sky was extremely clear, as we live in a rural area. I saw this “star” from a little ways away, and noticed that it was moving . I assumed it was a plane. It was coming straight towards my house. I called my 11 year old son to come outside and watch it with me. When it flew directly over top of my house, I realized it was not a plane. It was very very low, about as low as people normally fly a drone, but there was NO noise. It was dead silent. It was the exact shape, color, and size as a star, but it was moving at a very steady speed, in a completely straight line, and WAY lower. We could not figure out what it was. Our neighbor has a drone, and they are very loud and go all over the place, up or down. I have never witnessed an! ything like this thing before in my life. It was almost like it was on some sort of autopilot. We watched it for as long as we could, and it continued in a perfect straight line, at a consistent speed. Now my son and I are a little disturbed and can’t go to sleep!

Bright light traveling from west to east. Changed direction towards northeast. Appeared to zigzag slightly and speed also appeared to change. No sound and took maybe 10 minutes to go out of sight.

I was standing outside looking at stars in parking lot and noticed that there was a small light that was traveling towards the Northeast. It was unable to see any distinct stars around the object to use as a reference and the light appeared to be lower in altitude (and therefore larger than the fixed stars). I tried to use building in close proximity to determine whether the object was in fact moving and it seemed to be traveling along that straight path for the minute or so I was able to see it. The object was slowly traveling along this (relatively) straight path until I was unable to see it due to distance & moving behind tree-line. Approximately 10-15 minutes after I had seen this object slowly moving along the Northeast, I had heard and seen a plane (not sure if military or otherwise but had lights that were different from conventional commercial aircraft) traveling extremely fast and then out of my view in the same direction as the luminous object had ! just minutes before. Then, after about 3 or so minutes the same (if not very similar) aircraft had came back at a lower altitude going in the Southwest direction and was moving very slowly.

Beloit, WI
We were driving in a neighborhood and both of us see a very large object above the tall tree line. There were two very large, really bright, white rectangular lights facing forward illuminating the sky. One smaller red light was at the back of the object. The thing was absolutely silent and suspended (no movement whatsoever. Seemed more like “parked” than hovering). After a couple minutes, it very quickly moved away in a linear fashion and was just gone. We were also surprised to see that the time was 15-30 minutes later than we thought it should be (though we cannot verify this for sure).

Object moved swiftly across the sky from north to south. It moved faster than any plane. There was no sound
