Crestview, FL
My wife and I were walking our neighborhood watching fireworks. Just after dark I noticed 2 flickering firey globes moving in an unusual pattern, just over our local airport. My wife thought they were firework burnoff pieces until 4 more appeared and we realized they had other lights ,and were all the same shape. They were moving about the speed of a helicopter, and their light was bright enough to cast a glow. I would guess they would have been 4 times the size of a large truck. They appeared to become translucent before becoming completely invisible. Right after they disappeared, a sharp noise made both of us duck. The noise pierced our ears about 3 or 4 more times. The sound was almost painful.

Moving south to north at a high rate of speed, was a round sphere of alternating colors. I spotted the object moving towards us and passing directly over our heads, as we were in my friend’s backyard. I quickly called out my observation, and at least four other adults witnessed the object and the flashing colors. The other witnesses were minors, but they saw the object as well. It was moving quickly and was not very high in the night sky, but it wasn’t low either. No sounds could be heard from the object. One theory was that it could possibly have been a drone of some type, but overall size appeared much too large to be a drone. None of the witnesses were intoxicated, and range in age from 35 to 47. Three of the witnesses were male, and two were female.

We were watching the 4th of July firework show and looked further right and saw hovering green lights for approximately 5-10 minutes. Then it shot off eastward after we noticed it.

We saw a red object coming at a high speed of velocity from the southeast region of the sky. It grew larger as it came closer and stopped at a certain point, made a few figure eight zig zag and then disappeared. About an hour afterward, a smaller one appeared from the same direction and it didn't follow the same path as the UAP before it. It came a little further towards where we were and before it disappeared it seemed to come down as to say it got larger as it look like it was coming towards us in a downward motion of horizontal motion, and then vertically took off. The object left no light or tails behind it or anything to make us believe that it may have been a comic there were no flashing light to indicate that it may have been a military aircraft for a plane or a helicopter, Etc . And the colors of was red for both objects but it changed from way to White and then it had maybe kind of a bluish tint to it and then went back to read before going wherever ! we went.

On July 4, 2020, I had visited my parents home to celebrate independents day. Around 9:30pm (21:30) I left to return home. When I got to the intersection just below my parents house, I noticed a round flashing light in the sky. My first thought was an airplane, headed to the airport. But then I noticed a second light at a distance behind the first one. Our airport doesn’t receive airplanes that close together. It’s a rather small airport with not much traffic. I grabbed my cell phone and snapped a quick picture. I wanted to get out and watch it but a car pulled up behind me and so I turned and pulled to the side of the road. I stopped the car, and got out. This is when I decided to film the lights. I was a little shook up and fumbled around with my cell phone but I was able to get three short video clips. In the last video, I panned from the light in the front to the light in the back and stayed with that second light until it disappeared. The light was red and yellow like fire and flashed in pulses. (All caught in video!) then it just dissolved into the sky. After the event,I reviewed the still picture I took and noticed a third set of lights above the other two with very faint lights in two rows, exactly parallel to each other. These lights were NOT visible to me with my naked eye and only appear in the photo. I also zoomed in on the initial ball of light and could see it wasn’t completely round. There was a “stem” of light on the front. The event lasted for several minutes. Much longer than any pyrotechnics would

At about 9:15 PM ON the 4th of July 2020 seconds after meditating on contacting to see a UFO I watched a V shaped craft come into view fully lit at between 40 to 60 thousand feet from the south west it banked to the north. From first sighting until craft was out of sight was about 45 seconds.

While watching private fireworks in the neighborhood, while in my mother's back yard, she and I observed and unusual light traveling from the ESE to WNW, traveling nearly directly overhead. The light was reddish and seemed to did not blink. I immediately began to record the object on video using my phone camera. I have attached the link to the videos in a separate email to ufocntr@nwlink.com. There are two videos on my cell phone, which I've upload to my Amazon photos account. Twenty minutes after the first observation, I witnessed a second object, identical to the first. It is possible that I observed the same object twice. The second object was traveling the same trajectory as the first, just a few hundred feet to the north of the first path. Though not clear in the video (at least on my phone screen), the object(s) appeared spherical, especially the first sighting after it passed over my position (was headed away). At first, it appeared to be just a reddish light in the sky, but then clearly had a size that was not illuminated. When reviewing the video, as it retreated to the WNW, the first object has an interesting pattern visible in its structure upon my zooming in with the camera functions. Unfortunately, the microphone on my phone's camera was disabled, but the objects produced no sound, although they appeared to be only a few hundred feet in altitude above my position.

I was sitting in my backyard the night of July 4th watching fireworks. I saw a red light above my head at first I thought it was a drone, but the way it moved no drawn that I know of can move like that. It moved back and forth up and down sharp angles and very quickly. I went to grab my cell phone to capture it on video. By the time I pulled my camera up, it appeared to be hiding behind a cloud. I could see a faint red orb. then from behind the cloud I saw a bunch of flashing multi-colored lights like a strobe disco light. I came out from behind the cloud and I was videoing it or trying to. I followed it, it started to move away as soon as I started recording it. I followed it for several yards I think. The orb went straight back went straight back and then dropped straight down next to the Moon I also saw a flash of something out of the corner of my eye on the right hand side but I was busy trying to video the red orb. I examined the video and there are cle! arly three objects in some of the frame 1 being the Moon, two other objects unknown. literally 5 minutes after this encounter I brought my bird inside the house without the front window I saw a bright white light in front of the house and I will make a separate report for that sighting that one there were several adult witnesses and a couple of children. I have extensive footage of that for that event lasted about 30 minutes. I have both still shots and video.

It was off in the distance, West of Gretna, NE, by at least 20 miles, but it was still huge in the sky . It was oval as an outline but the center seemed to be open. It was not smoke or clouds because it remained stationary for at least 10-15 minutes. I tried taking a picture of it, but the pictures didn't turn out very clear because it was so far away.

On July 4, 2020, I had a sighting that will stick with me for the rest of my life. I was out in the backyard with my mom watching some fireworks when I saw two bright, red lights hovering in the sky. After several moments, it was apparent this wasn’t a firework. My first thought is that it might have been a drone (I’m an FAA Certified Part 107 drone pilot), but I’ve never seen a drone with lights like that. Attached is a picture and a video I shot from my backyard. This was taken in Goodyear, Arizona, and it appears to be within Goodyear airspace, which is restricted due to the nearby Air Force base (F-16 and F-35 training base) and several airports including the Goodyear Airport. It was not moving at all, though the video was shaky because I was trying to get closer and the camera was unstable. When I saw it, it was hovering there steadily. After about a minute of doing so, the lights shut off like someone flipped a switch. It didn't turn direction, it didn't descend or ascend, the lights just went out. My mom saw it on a separate occasion, about 10 minutes earlier that same night. Her experience was different than mine. She saw it hovering and not moving at all. Then it abruptly moved to the right a little bit, the lights turned blue, and it disappeared.

On July 4, 2020 at around 20:00 hours while boating on Tim's Ford Lake near Dry Creek Beach in Winchester, Tennessee, six people witnessed a glowing ball in the sky to the North/East of our location. The time in which the the ufo was present is unknown, as we do not know how long it had been present before we noticed it, but once we noticed the ufo, it was present for about 45 minutes or so afterwards. At first we thought the ufo was a paper lantern but it stayed in the same spot the intire time. After arriving home, the next day we looked on the internet to try to get an explanation for what we saw, and that's when we realized that several other witnesses from other states all around the country had seen the same thing.

I saw what looked like a ball of fire. It was moving faster than an airplane. As it got closer to the fireworks it went black. I watched it Move across the sky. I lost sight of it as it went into a cloud. Then about three minutes later I saw another one. I have photos of the fireball and after it turned black I also have a photo

Me and my brother in law were sitting down looking towards the ski facing west. I saw this circular shape object flying from North to South until I was not able to see it due to the large trees. I turned and looked at my brother in law and asked him, “ Did you just see that?” He relied, “Yes, that was not a planned Bro!” The circular object looked kind of dark grey.

On the 4th of July evening we were looking up at the newly shaped Big Dipper when we thought we saw a satellite moving past. It went slowly the . Picked up speed and the light vanished and disappeared completely. This did not look like a shooting star.

My significant other was in the lake without son playing and splashing around, when he asked me "what's that in the sky?"I ignored his question at first and the second time he asked me I said good on and I took my time setting stuff down and talking to our baby and after 10 close to fifteen minutes he finally got me to walk out towards him and he pointed to the north west direction and up in the sky was a black object that hovered in the same spot in the sky for I'm not sure maybe 30mns or longer we watched this thing twist and spiral it's long tentacles over and over like it if you was to see a squid or octopus swim in the ocean it was shaped more like a squid and it's tentacles moved almost constantly but the strange thing didn't change its position it stayed in the same spot in the sky as if it was watching something like a wild animal would waiting for that right moment to attack. It didn't attack anything of course not during the time we was a! t the lake any way. We observed this strange squid like creature that hovered high in the sky for sometime before I realized we had binoculars in the Tahoe which I had sent my significant other to get and to see what we saw through them binoculars is something I'm afraid I can only explain looked like a black squid like creature it had what seemed to be 6 eyes on the head and six tentacles that it moved around in a pattern like way twisting certain ones at certain times but it didn't move from it position while it moved the tentacles around. This thing was something you would see in a syfy movie two kids that swam 20ft away from us asked each other what it was one asked the other is that a demon? The other child replied I think it's siren head. We packed up our things and left and I watch it until I couldn't anymore so it could have been in the sky a lot longer then 30mns.

I was looking at the moon at 00:55 when I had gone into the bathroom. I saw a green blinking light in the sky, I thought it was a satellite. The light turned solid white and the UFO zigged in the opposite direction it came from (south). Then it zagged back in it’s original direction (North). It zigged and zagged one more time before the light started blinking green again and heading west.
