Laying in hammock in shade looking at sky when I noticed a round object, white in color, traveling in a straight line at an extremely high rate of speed heading South West. The object made no noise as it traveled, and left no visible trail.

One separate object last to vanish was flashing. When I zoomed in with my camera, I noticed it was moving in a way that defied physics. I have pictures and videos of the encounter.

I was on Country Club Drive by Turnberry Golf Course stopped at a traffic light, when I looked up at the sky above a condo building. About 2 miles up I saw what caught my eye as some kind of what I thought were balloons that were drifting away, they seemed to sparkle with colors. I quickly realized that they were in some sort of very random flight pattern - very much like vultures which are very common in Florida where I live. But, as kept trying to make out the forms they did not resemble birds or drones, so then my instinct was to think they were people in wing suits, not ultralights. I followed them again and got caught at another traffic light, but could not film them due to the light changing. I went to a parking lot and tried to film them again, but by then they were mere tiny black specs and were headed from East to West. When I got home I pulled up the main video and watched it on Edit mode and slowed it down so I could take a closer look at each object and I see that the shapes change and some even have a silver aura and light to them.

Looking at stars on clear night and we noticed 3 lights that looked similar to stars in brightness and size. We then noticed the 3 lights moving in sync. As if they were connected and in triangular formation or object. Moving slowly and then each one slowly faded away in brightness and seemed to vanish. Can’t explain what it was. Bizarre. We both saw it and pointed it out to each other and within 10 seconds of talking about it and pointing it out, it was gone before I could get my phone camera out.

On 7/5/20 at approx 0240 I, along with 2 others, were sitting outside talking. It was an extremely clear night. The moon was full and so bright that it actually drown out a lot of the stars. There were 2 other very visible objects in the sky that night that we identified, using a phone app, as Saturn and Jupiter, all in the southern sky. While sitting out, a very bright orange light appeared in the western sky, catching my eye. I asked the people with me if they could see the object. They agreed that they could. At that time my wife began to record the unusual object with her cell phone. We watched as the object moved rather slowly from west to east until it seemed to become stationary and then slowly disappeared above us. The object didn’t seem to emit any sound nor did it have any other lights.

Multiple balls of color changing lights appeared over Blackhawk lake around 1:30 am. It started as 2 balls hovering over an area in front of cabin 2. The lights appeared to be circling each other then would break into multiple smaller colored orbs. It appeared to shine a light into the woods on the south west side of the lake and then down in the water. It was silent. It appeared to go in and out of the water but didnt cause a ripple. I walked down by the lake to be sure it wasn't a drone or something. It came towards me and stopped half way to me and appeared to become agitated. It began heading north across the lake very quickly. I lost sight of it and headed back up to the campsite. In the sky we then saw countless crafts in the sky mainly gravitating towards one very large orange light that was darting around in the southern sky in the same general area. There was another larger craft in the northern sky that was a completely different shape that was! also moving erratically in the same area. This when to nor an hour or so and around 3:30 the began moving farther away and the lights slowly faded out. Our dog was freaking out and acting like we've never seen. It was completely silent the whole time. The water developed a weird ripple to the east of the water event with a heavy fog.

Just after midnight. My family & our neighbors were witness to several UFO’S. They were red haze type circles with fire in the center. They made no sounds whatsoever. They moved at a pace that wasn’t too quick. But, not to slow. Sometimes they flew in 3’s & sometimes just one at a time. No matter how many flew above us, more appeared. This was still going on when I went to bed. I do have photos and video. would like to hear from anyone who has seen these types of UFO’S.

Friend said "What's that!" pointing to sky and looked up to see 7 red lights in star formation above us. They turned into 3 lights then into one light and seemed to move up in the sky away from us at really fast speed. We were inside the Target shopping center on Main Street when it happened.

Me, My wife and a neighbor were watching fireworks around the city from the rooftop of our building, and among the fireworks exploding, we spotted 3 objects that were definitely not part of the of the light show directly west of our building. What got my attention initially was 3 red/orange objects hovering above the city at a distance in the formation of an equilateral triangle. These glowing objects seemed out of place from all the flashing lights coming from fireworks displays because they were not moving. By the time my wife and I got out our cell phones to record them, two of the lights had disappeared (Top and right) and the one that remained (Bottom and left) stayed visible. We both were able to get footage of that one. The remaining object didn't appear to be moving in any direction only hovering. Our footage shows the glowing object hovering for a minute or 2 and then just fades away. Being on the north side of Chicago we've seen more than around 30! airplanes or helicopters a day going in or out of O'hare International for years, and these definitely did not match movement or light patterns consistent with either one of those. There was no physical interaction as the objects seemed to be far enough away to be hovering over either Lincolnwood, IL or further west near Rosemont IL. It was hard to tell how far they were as I couldn't determine the size of them. The other strange thing that me and my wife agreed on was that it seemed to be intentional to us. As if it was a personal show to just us. That's probably not relevant, or true, but it was a very strong feeling. So much so that I want to include that detail. I am a fraud analyst and have a very skeptical nature, but this was something that I cannot explain. I'm sending 2 videos, one that my wife took right next to me, and the one I took. My video is a little more shaky but her's is a quite a bit more stable. My neighbor didn't take any footage because her phone was not around at the time. I will include the video and a screenshot of google maps to show where we THINK the objects were. Thank you for your time. Feel free to email me with any questions.

It was at 11:17pm when my wife and went for a ride and we were traveling south on I89. We seen three really bright lights brighter than the full moon and brightest star in the sky flying in formation. We then noticed that three flying in formation we being followed by many more bright lights to many to count. However the very front light in the formation shot behind our in the north direction and another took its place in front. But then the sky got so bright behind us it look as is the sun popped out. But then that light that disappeared behind was back in front of us and it bright so we pulled over to try and see what it was and it stopped suddenly and meanwhile the formation of lights and its tail of lights were farther in the distance. Both of us looked in aww and we realized the bright light we were looking at was a craft in the sky and was oval in shape and looked like a giant apartment building hovering in the sky and had other bright lights up the si! de that we could see in different spot throughout the side. And as we sat on the side of I89 with our hazard lights blinking it seemed like we had been watching for an hour or longer not one vehicle went by on the N or S lanes we noticed that it still hovering above us but it looked like it was farther than it had been. And all of sudden a bright bright light illuminated the complete bottom side of this craft it shot straight up to the point the bright light on the botton of the craft was a little bigger and brighter than the brightest star in the sky and then moved so fast in the eastern direction it was just flash of light. When it was all finished it was 27 minutes long but it seem like it was two hours. The two of us were physically drained and. I was driving i was so drained that i was falling asleep driving and my wife was asleep five minutes after it disappeared. We see planes all the time and we see different types of helicopter because we live close to the flight path of a runway at Burlington International Airport and helico! pters fly over on their way to the hospital and the both are very noisy. This craft was not making any noise and definitely didn't move like any aircraft i know of. I truly believe we seen ufo's on America's Independence Day

O.K, first & foremost it was the 4th of July- Although, I'm 62, & have been watching the sky for yrs.(& I've seen some stuff)Anyway, it was coming from the north- I could see it quite a ways out, but since it was the 4th of July, I just thought it was some kind of a firework that was gonna go off any second-It was rectangular bright bright orange, going so fast, I have no clue, & disappeared right in front of our eyes! (there were 5 of us) I've seen a lot of weird stuff, but this was really odd?

Sometime between 10:30pm and 11:00pm, today July 4th 2020, three very large multicolored objects, moving independent of one another, each individual object was approximately the size of three Space Shuttles, they appeared out of the SE cruising through the atmosphere, producing a fiery circular cone on the leading edge that wrapped around them, the fiery circular cone was maybe three times larger than the objects producing the cone, they looked exactly like what is seen when a manned space vehicle re-enters the earth’s atmosphere after a mission only very much larger. Each one was following the one in front of it by about 2 to 4 minutes apart, but each was on its own slightly different trajectory. The course they were following was SE to NW. Time overhead about one minute. Clear night, bright moon.

This event happened on the 4th of July 2020. In Fresno, California. My Daughter and I were sitting outside in our lounge chairs by the pool, after everybody else in our family had gone to bed. We were facing North . I am 58 and my daughter is 35 years old. At about 10:45pm my daughter said, mom what is that? I looked up and through some trees I could see what looked like a ball of fire. Maybe a couple of city blocks away. With some fireworks still going off, my first thought was it had to be related. But within seconds I could tell it was coming straight towards us, moving South. When another fire ball came up behind it, and then another, with a total of 7 round fire lights. Orange, reddish in color. Coming straight at us. The first one is right over our heads now; we are looking straight up. The fire ball light was gone. We could only see the bottom of a vehicle; it was in a tear drop shape . NO lights and NO sound . It was a full moon that night so we could see the bottom of this flying thing. I would say it was traveling about the height of a helicopter flying in a city maybe 200 or 300 yards up. It was moving at about 20 miles per hour. A total of 5 vehicles past over us. The last 2 turned to the East before they reach us. When we looked to the south after passing us, they disappeared quickly. No lights on the back. So, we could not see them for very long as they moved into the moon light. My daughter and I are both hoping someone can provide an earthly explanation for what we seen that night. I think about this event daily, having trouble sleeping and concentrating on daily task. I have told some family and the first thing they say is did you take pictures. No pictures, I think I was afraid to run and grab my phone, because I thought I would miss it. But truly, it never even came to thought. I did draw it out on paper. I feel like I am waiting for their return, always looking up or out in the night sky.

I also contacted you on a previous occasion on August 11th of 2018. At around 9:30pm my wife was watching our dogs out back in the yard when she observed a strange metallic half sphere shaped object approaching from the west. She quickly asked me what the **** is that. I looked and said I did not know. I then picked up my phone and took pictures of the craft. I tried to take a video, but as soon as I tried to change the settings it let off a spectacular flash of red light and sped off back to the west at what was an impossible speed. It was out of sight within a manner of at least a second. Thirdly, my first sighting in Obetz occurred around 3:00am in 2016. My son 18 at the time and I were setting out back with my telescope trying waiting for Saturn to come into view. While we were setting in the lawn chairs a large boomerang shaped object came slowly crossing in front of us. It was silent with a mother of pearl glowing color. It had a sphere rotating in and out of the structure at the rear of the object in the middle of the v portion of the boomerang. It had no windows and was upright each point of the tips one pointing toward the sky the other toward the ground. We both were dumbfounded and could not believe what we saw as it passed before our eyes. I estimated it about 400 yards away at about a 45-degree angle from where we sat and from top to bottom around 75ft front to back about 20ft. He asked me what it was I said I had no clue and I hoped it was one of ours. Immediately we both ran back in the house into the kitchen. I told him to draw what he saw and ! I would go into the living room and draw what I saw with no collaboration to our story. When he was done we both compared what we saw and it was exactly the same drawing.

A bright orange spherical light was seen moving from the southeast to the northwest like one would expect from a low altitude plane. However, there was no noise heard and only a single light, no beacon. I immediately started recording the object with my phone. The light appeared to travel in the sky as a typical small aircraft would. Approximately 2,000 feet in the air and moving in a straight line while maintaining altitude. The object was lost to view in the clouds to the NW after approximately 2 minutes.

There I was, sitting on the dock of the cove. I was minding my own business, enjoying some tobacco and the company of people around me. All of a sudden, within the Southwest night sky, a spherical, red craft appeared. The craft was moving steadily at approx. 4.8 knots. The craft traveled approx. 0.8 nautical miles across the sky.

All this time has passed.. decided to report the incident. I had a barbecue in the backyard. Looked up and I saw 2 orbs way up high looked like fireballs dancing around brought it to attention to my sister and her best friend. I grabbed my phone and took a video. Excuse all the cursing in the video as we were shocked. Maybe you can make sense of it.. My friend who lives in the same area saw 4 of them a short time earlier. He posted it on Facebook describing the incident. I have a copy of the post

My Mother and I just saw an unidentified non conventional white strobing light moving slowly counter clockwise. The number of pulsing went from a solid light to starting to a few slow pulsations to progressing to more and faster rhythm of strobing flickering to about 20 per second. It was apparently watching the same fireworks to our north, then it moved Eastward low on the horizon. I was looking for an airplane type of red and green light but it was definitely not conventional, unless it was a drone pretending to be an UFO. Distance is hard to tell but I live about 5 miles South of the city, so even with the distraction of fireworks, it still should have been seen by many people. Thanks for filling this report. It was certainly very strange and peculiar.

Our family was watching our town's firework display to the east and one family member felt the urge to look behind them (to the west) and spotted an orange glowing light appearing as a meteor passing earth but much closer and having erratic movement. Object moved in downward motion when first noticed (as if headed towards earth like a meteorite) then changed movement. Moving left then right and then appearing to move west and disappear. Orange glowing ball.
