A long line of very bright white lights looked like a plane about to crash then just disappeared very light cloud cover wouldn't have concealed the light. Then shortly after a single white light blinking in middle with external white lights blinking directly after happened 3 times after with brief intervals between then nothing. Was accompanied by very loud sounding like jet engine but just hung around in the air with no sign of a a plane after lights disappeared first time sound vanished then after when flashing lights started sound came back.

4 yellowish orange like orbs in sync light up then fade away like fire going out. A bit later a couple more. Few mins later one lit up then another, then another we counted a row of 6. Each time we saw any, it was in different areas over N Myrtle Beach. After last ones seen, there were star color white fast blinking lights synchronized moving around erratically and very fastly making their way across sky. Seen by a total of 6 people.

Was walking down the street and saw a sliver type object that appeared to be moving in a mechanical way in one solid direction. The object all of a sudden got very bright (in a reflective type way away from the sun) then dissapeared shortly after. Thought it may have been something burning up in the atmosphere but it seemed too mechanical close and steady.

Another person and I saw what appeared to be a boomerang shaped white craft flying from South to North near the East side of Tampa around 40th street and Columbus Drive at Route 4. This object flew in a straight line until it was out of sight and had traveled tens of miles if not the entire county. The object was white and against a very blue sky. It seemed to travel like a satellite would travel but I don’t believe it was high enough to be a satellite.

It was shinny, but had black in the bottom. No wings. No clouds or anything else in the sky. I pulled over, got out of me car and it was gone.

I was having a restless night, so was awake early. I was staring at the ceiling when the object entered my field of view, through the window above our bed. It was as bright as a star and clearly spherical. It was moving at a steady velocity from SW to NE. When I noticed the object I immediately put on my glasses for a better look and watched it until it went out of sight. I jumped out of bed, headed for the back door to my patio, grabbed my Nikon binoculars on the way out. I regained visual contact with the object again as it proceeded NE and got the binoculars on it again. It definitely was not a conventional aircraft, neither rotary or fixed wing. There were no additional lights of any kind or color, only the bright illumination of the sphere. I am accustomed to seeing satellites in the night sky, in different orbits, at different velocities, and this was no satellite either. The satellites are small specks, and this object was many times larger in terms of visual angle subtended. It moved smoothly, and I listened for any sounds of an engine...it was silent. It did not maneuver, jink or turn . It did not change speed. I watched it through my binoculars until it disappeared. I was a USAF pilot ('72-'85) with global flying experience and also spend time at night stargazing and observing the city with binoculars. I don't know what this object was, but I know what it was not. It was nothing conventional. I live in the foothills of the Tucson mountains, in a dark skies area, and have a very good view of the sky and our surroundings, especially the east.

There were 7 red light in a “V” formation. They suddenly appeared and did not move for a few seconds. When I pointed them out they started to shift. It was like if I was looking at a screen and they went to the bottom right corner but it was a very slow shift. The lights weren’t over head they were in the air but it was like facing me. I was in my front yard and across the street from me is a palm tree nursery/farm so when they moved to the corner I had to get closer to look at where they went and they just kinda faded out.

I was on the roof working all day with my friend, sky’s were clear in the morning, afternoon rained pretty much up until sunset which was around 9:30 pm. Rained stopped there was a beautiful sunset so I decided to snap a couple photos off my iPhone. I did NOT see any ufo while I took not 1 but 2 Live Photo’s from my iPhone. After work when I got to my hotel Kewadin hotel and casino I had sent my friend I was with the photos of the sunset I had took on the roof. The next day he had looked at the photo and pointed out an object in the sky. I looked at the photo and I seen a ball of light in the distance. The second photo it appeared to be closer with some type of Ora around the glowing object. I didn’t think much of it at the time and let it be. I just arrived back to Chicago where I lived and went through my photos of that sunset I didn’t realize it until now that when I hold the pictures they have a live feed for a couple seconds and in both I see it move it! ways I can’t even Comprehend. I thought it was very interesting and can’t get it off my mind now and wanted to reassure myself by letting someone know.

An unusual light in the sky drew my attention so I continued to watch it for 15-20 seconds (noting that it did not seem to have any blinking lights that conventional aircraft are required to have by law ). Craft was on a south to north heading and by the feel of the motion and brightness of the object, It seemed to be quite high in altitude. Which struck me as odd because it was moving across the sky at a faster pace then any jets that I commonly see in the day/night sky. The craft would also do these very smooth and consistent horizontal sweeps as it flew. Back and forth from left to right and back again. Almost playful really... Suddenly the craft turned a very bright light downward towards the ground. Seemed as bright as fog lights on a jetliner, but no jetliner i know of has their foglights mounted on such a swivel as to be able to point from the front of the craft to the bottom. Shortly after the light was shone downward, the craft quickly faded in brightness until I lost sight of it. It either blinked out of existence or simply turned all the crafts lights off. Hard to tell really. My attention was immediately diverted to another two craft, identical to the first, not very far away in the evening sky. These two craft were very interesting. Upon first glance of the two craft, I could immediately tell that one craft was travelling at much higher speed ( again , north to south heading ) than its counterpart. The thing is though... the slower of these two craft was still traversing the night sky faster then any plane or jet that commonly fly these skies. As they came directly overhead ( at similar high altitude of first craft ) the two craft were weaving left and right in graceful sweeping arcs. With the speed and fluid grace they displayed, it again felt as if they were playing. Almost similar to how two small birds may interact with each other mid-flight. As the two craft continued travelling northbound, I was suprised to see the craft in 2nd place gaining, and eventually overtaking the craft that was previosuly winning what i then considered to be a playful race between the two lights. The two craft flew far enough for me to lose sight of them about 25-40 seconds after first seeing them. I am no ufo enthusiast nor conspiracy theorist. I dont believe in farfetched ideas about aliens and their possible agendas. I am simply a man who has seen something highly unusual and suspicious in the sky. Was it aliens? Who's to say. But I can say the lights showed no conventional signs of normalcy for aircraft. From the speed and maneuverability, to the nature of their flightpath. (sorry , have no footage. and in truth, any footage taken wouldve been your run of the mill, blurry lights on a drab black pixelated background ). Thank you for your time. And thank you for what your organization is attempting to accomplish. Cheers

Rice, VA
My family and I were camping in Rice, Va 06/21/20 - 06/24/20. Around 8pm on 06/23/20 my daughter came running to ask me to come outside and see the “creepy things in the sky!” She, my other daughter, and son-in-law were all staring into the sky pointing at what they were seeing. I looked up and saw multiple round lights moving higher than an airplane we saw a little while later. I had my husband and 10 year old son join us outside to get their opinion. The lights were moving in the same direction at first but randomly separated; my husband said it could be a meteor shower until some of them stopped and changed direction. Then several more began to appear directly above us as if they were coming from nowhere, traveling in the same direction, at the same speed, the same distance apart from each other. We tried capturing pictures and video but the lights didn’t appear on camera. After several minutes in the same formation, the objects separated and began traveling in random directions, some disappearing and reappearing, others completely disappearing. None of us have an explanation for what we saw and it’s been on my mind since that night so I decided to report it. I hope this information is helpful.

Yesterday driving home after leaving my friends home I noticed lights eyes level in the sky coming my way. Once I looked up my heart started to panic. I’ve seen ufo’s before but never as close as they were yesterday. One light after another. They were bright as a Roman candle but stayed in a straight line. It was overwhelming and nervous af. I saw at least thirty or them. I am not exaggerating. They were close to each other. Very close. I know air traffic control wouldn’t have approved if they were planes. But they couldn’t have been. You couldn’t hear anything. Just light after light. They were headed east towards Indiana. I never been religious but after yesterday I believe everything we hear about. God, Heavens earth, dinosaur, aliens, UFO’s are real. 2020 has been a hell of a year. These stimulus checks won’t help at all if they decide to truly invade us. The government is a lie. They don’t tell us the truth

Linear formation of Lights with rounded edges, that moved to a different deegree of angle. The lights seemed to strobe Around The Craft. As we recorded the craft seemed to fade off into the atmosphere. Near the end of the video the lights seems to blink in what seemed at a pattern.

Around 7:00pm my husband and I were outside eating dinner on our back patio. I looked up and saw a round shiny bright object in the sky. We’ve been having issues with neighbors setting off illegal fireworks, for a quick moment I thought that’s what I was viewing until I realized it was more of a very bright stationary orb and much higher up than a firework, or even the planes in the area go. I watched it for a couple of minutes and asked my husband to go inside and get his phone for me so that I could try and get video of it. I recorded three small videos, the whole time the orb stayed in the same location until the last video, after recording the last one and then watching it on my husband’s phone I didn’t think I had footage of the object until we watched it on our computer; around the 00:08 second mark you can see the object quickly fly off to the left of the screen, I was still recording afterwards because neither myself or my husband had seen the object fly off. I apologize for the shaky hand, I was having a hard time trying to focus on the object and hold the phone still. If I had to compare the object I’d say it appeared to be as high up as Saturn or Jupiter have been appearing lately when they pass. It was in the East. I’m having a hard time guessing the altitude but it was much higher than any of the planes we have fly over in the area, no sound emitted from the object. There is some background noise in the video from our neighbors as well as some traffic noise, if the object did have any noise it would have been too far up for us to hear it. We did have an airplane flying much lower, we are near flight paths for LAX, Long Beach, and Santa Ana. There was also a police helicopter that flew by, but much lower and towards the West, it didn’t seem to be out to look at the object, we’ve had some crime in the area lately and it’s not uncommon for the helicopter to be out at all hours of the day. I’m curious to know if you think this is a UFO or maybe just something like a drone breaking FAA flight regulations. I know that drones can reach very high altitudes even though they aren't supposed to. However, I’ve never seen a drone that could take off as fast as this object appears to, or emit a light like that during the day.

I have the craft on my phone. The reason I say I don't know a shape is because it grew and shrunk and grew and shrunk and then blew up huge to what my wife and I call "when it went super nova". My wife saw it from our home about a mile away at the same time. The night before we saw a white orb flying in front of our home. The whole experience was really crazy. Anyway, I was walking into my work when I looked up and saw what I knew instantly was something not from this world. It was white and got small then big then small repeating. It was white and bright as day although it didn't make the sky bright. It was fascinating. My wife was awake because she makes me breakfast each morning and sends me on my way. When I saw it, I called her and she went outside and saw the same thing just a mile away. I recorded it though and have clear video of it where she didn't get it on her phone. I'm not sure what else I can say other than that.

I am a Truck Driver and Driving East on I-10 from Baldwin to Jacksonville FL, there was a bright light larger than a star but smaller than a plane flying East a little faster than a plane, but definitely not a shooting star. It then disappeared or ZAPPED to darkness in the night sky. In the area above the sky had stars and clear skies in my area of view so there was no reason for the light to just disappear. It never reappeared.

On a starry summer night in Maine my family and I observed over 50 lights very high up in the night sky each moving slowly and the same distance apart. It occurred over a period of about 15 minutes. My father said he’s never seen anything like it.

At approximately 2230 hours on June 23, 2020, I went outside my home to put my tarp on my vehicle due to intermittent rain. The skies were partly cloudy, quite dark, with wind blowing from south to north, about 5 mph. I could hear military aircraft well above my home, and to the south, which are usually F-22’s or F-23’s from Eglin AFB practicing aerial combat. Since they had their nav lights off, they could not be picked out (about ten minutes later they could be observed when they did turn on anti-collision lights). I also observed a passenger aircraft fly to the west way past Hurlburt Field flying from south to north, and either a U-28 or PC-12 recon aircraft circling near Hurlburt. I then caught some movement in the sky to my left, and observed a low flying (several thousand feet altitude), bat wing shaped object travelling from west to east, almost directly overhead, around 70 degrees high to the north, almost overhead, and about the size of a fingernail when the arm is held out. It was a light tan color, which at first I presumed to be a falcon or owl. However the speed was too fast, covering a good arc of the sky straight and level from nearly 20 degrees off the horizon from west to east in four to five seconds (there were no wings flapping, and it was too high for an owl, which are usually in the trees at night, and I haven’t heard any for over a year). The shape of the object was crescent shaped, almost bat like, and from my angle almost like the silhouette of a B-2 but with a very round nose and rounded wings (much like the craft drawn by Lockheed engineer Clarence Kelly on 16 December 1953). There was no glow, and no apparent appendages such a! s an exhaust as one would see in current drone production. No military aircraft appeared to be chasing the object, however one F-22 or F-23 did fly the same approximate route several minutes later although at a substantially higher altitude (apparent approach to Eglin AFB for landing or more maneuvers over the Gulf of Mexico).

Red light near eastern horizon. Not blinking. Brighter than a planet or typical airplane. Seemed to rise slightly over the course of a minute, but I could have imagined it. Got somewhat dimmer about twenty seconds after being noticed, then returned to original brightness, then after another ten seconds faded out over 1-2 seconds. I looked through binoculars, and it was in focus at the maximum focal length, implying to me that it was at least farther than a few hundred feet away.

On June 23, 2020 around 10pm, this event took place in Rio Rancho, NM. I was the only one left in jacuzzi after a night with the kids and family celebrating my wife’s birthday party. I was star gazing in the northern sky in the direction of Santa fe, when I noticed some very dim yellowish lights in a triangle form. These lights did not blink or flash and were around 7 to 9 lights that seemed to just hover in the horizon, they lasted there for only 20 seconds before they just disappeared.

Myself and a buddy were outside hanging out and I saw a white light, like that of a radio tower light, in one spot by a tree, I look at every light in the sky to make sure it's a plane or a meteor or comet so I looked again and it then shifted to the left with one more flash if light. My buddy said "did you see that?" I said yeah I saw a light less than 2 seconds ago over there (pointing to my right) the we both stood up and he saw it again WAY further to the left and he said it shot strait up and disappeared (I did not see because my vantage point was different) but I look for these things, I've never seen one before and I know what the ISS is and I track that at night. It wasn't the SpaceX new internet stuff they have put up. It wasn't a comet or a meteor I know what that is as well. We are out in the country so we are very fortunate to be able to see the sky without light pollution. This entire event we saw less than an hour ago took approximat! ely 5 seconds. Very VERY cool experience. If anyone in the Windsor area or Suffolk area of Virginia saw the same thing PLEASE report it to the database. I hope others saw what we saw.

The first one came from the north followed by some from the north east then they started coming from the north west and then the West all of them flew to pretty much the same point near the star Arcturus then turned and headed south east all heading to the same place they were all whitish yellow and very high (higher than most planes) in the sky they were also very hard to see and didn't seem that bright on account of them being at such a high altitude I heard no jet engines or propellers some of them were flying quite close to each other while the majority flew one after the other about 45 seconds apart from one another I have a feeling that all the pilots were Cozicci (spelt with backwards C's) from Sirius A's- Deneb
