Cincinnati, OH

An orb flashed overhead in a bright flash for approx 1.5-2 seconds. It was a clear night and I saw no other aircraft or similar celestial disturbances since that moment.

I was standing on my back porch. I immediately looked up at the sky because it shocked me that the sky was so clear that there were so many stars out. Then I noticed what I thought was the north star moving to the right of me way up in the sky. It continued to move with Intention. It was not moving fast but it was not real slow either. It continued to move to the right of me and I walked out into the middle of the backyard so that I could keep my eyes on it. It continues to move With intent and it lasted for about one minute to a minute and a half and then it just disappeared. It was as if you turned the switch off and it was just gone.

Herkimer, NY

The white light progressed across the sky northwest headed southeast. The light was moving quickly then slowing down, then moving very fast again, then slowing again, not flashing but steady. It did this for about 45 seconds then completely disappeared. We had five witnesses four adults and 1 11 year old child. One of the adult witnesses is an army veteran with combat and aviation experience and have never seen an aircraft move the way this did.

Doylestown, PA

UFO SIGHTING IN DOYLESTOWN, PA We have a 2 acre property with a Doylestown address but in the New Hope/Solebury area. It was at 9:48 p.m. and we were sitting in our backyard, 1 of us in the hot-tub, the other two sitting around the firepit next to the hot tub, when we saw a large dark object hovering just above the tree line about 200 yards away. The object was about the size of half a football field. We could feel its vibration above the hot tub bubbles but it was quiet. It seemed to be in the shape of a triangle. There were 3 green lights on the object. It moved slowly and then it disappeared. All 3 of us saw it. It was too large to be a helicopter or an airplane.

Huntersville, NC

I observed a bright white light approaching from the east. At first I thought it was Venus or a bright star (I am an amateur astronomer) but it was in the wrong position, much too low and it was moving. It appeared to be an aircraft but did not have any blinking lights and then the intensity of the brightness increased markedly almost like a flare. This increase lasted only a few seconds and it continued westward. I believe it flared once more but cannot remember for sure. As it continued west, it then made a very sharp 90 degree turn north and continued on until I could not see it anymore. The turn was very abrupt - certainly not like any aircraft that I have seen.

Blairsville, GA

Observed one object that looked like a "shooting star" traveling from West to East. Duration of a few seconds then disappeared. Appeared again in same line of travel for a few seconds and then made a 90 degree angle turn to the South. Then after a few seconds was no longer visible. About 10 seconds later observed the same thing. Then again a few seconds after that. So three sightings in all in a short period of time.

Thousand Oaks, CA

While taking a break from work I came outside and gazed at the sky. At first I thought I was looking at a black bird flying high in a cloud and then realized birds don't fly that high. While taking a closer look I noticed the craft was black and triangle shaped but something odd was happening. As the craft flew it was consistently flipping over from wing to wing. Every time it would spin a metal reflection would shine from the craft. My daughter came outside to see what I was looking at and described the same thing. After about 6 minutes the craft flew out of our view.

Poughkeepsie, CT

3 of us were eating lunch on a curb, I saw what I thought was a white ballon very high in sky. I pointed out to the 2 guys with me, after 5 min of debate, a cloud passed n front of the object which wasn’t moving, the white object appeared to turn black or grey in the cloud, then bright white like a star in the day once the cloud passed. At that point 3 women walked out of an adjacent pharmacy. I asked them as they passed us if they could first see the “day star” then If they could identify it,... no one could explain it away. Another construction worker passed, we showed him, he pointed out,with polarized lenses, there appeared to be a purplish ring around object. We had to unfortunately return to work at that point, after taking 2 short videos with my iPhone The weather this day was partly cloudy/mostly sunny. 80 degrees, 38% humidity- Object never moved, only got blurry, and brighter then clear.

So I was staying at my grandparents in the middle of the woods we were staying in a cabin on there property. I woke up in the middle of the night and I had to pee so I went outside and did my business. Went back inside and saw a glow pit sideline so I thought I left the light on outside. I went back outside thinking I was going to turn the light on one was wrong. When I left the house I saw the light was off I was like what the hell, looked up in disbelief and saw it I was Stunned stare at it for a little bit. I ran back inside and got my brother and showed him I could not get a Picture. Then my dog started goin crazy and woke up my parents bit by then it was gone.

It was angled at about 45°. NorthEast in the sky. It stayed in the sky for about 10 minutes before disappearing in a blink of the eye.

Upper Salford, PA

Heard a loud sound like a jet taking off at 11:30 PM. There is no airport in the area that would cause a sound like that. This morning, friend in the neighborhood confirmed that her daughter said that her loft/apartment shook and she heard a loud sound like a jet as well. Her son said that he saw 3 green flashes of light, but unable to capture photo.

Westerly, RI

I was sitting in my living room and I looked out my window and saw a cross-looking UFO with rainbow lights and the craft itself was black and small at least from my distance. I saw it again a block away and have only seen it at night. I believe that the possible aliens that are inside that thing know who I am because about four months ago I took a vacation to Florida and saw it again in the air at night each sighting looked the same. And just 3 or 4 weeks ago I was sitting in my chair outside at dawn and when it turned dark I saw something moving in the sky and it looked exactly like a star and wasn’t a plane which is what I thought it was at first but this one had the same lights as a star and was identical to a star but didn’t have rainbow lights. The first UFO that I had mentioned might have been a drone but I don’t think so since it followed me to Florida and also to a block away from my house. I just looked at the pic/vid of mine that I remember catching it on camera in and right where it was was nothing it was like the aliens erased themselves from the photo/pic I think the aliens know me.

Wikieup, AZ

When I looked closer there were two silvery - white lights. Side by side I would guess 200 ft apart, and 200 ft above the mountain top, and behind the mountain maybe a quarter of a mile. The size is twice what would be a light on a radio tower. When I started observing, they both blinked together, then right left right left. Then the weirdest thing. The right one went to the left one as a hair thin piece of light. Like a zip line. When it hit the left one it double in size for half a second. In my mind I heard a little "ping" sond. This happened twice. Then they both appeared a moment, this time horizontal. Then disappeared and I didn't see them again.

I pulled off the road and parked to scan the sky but saw no trace of the star looking light source.

Mt. Jackson, VA

I photographed an object outside my home on June 11th 2020, at 8:55pm just after sunset (sunset was 20:39:44). It was moving faster than a plane, similar in speed to how the ISS moves across the sky, heading due North and it was illuminated and incredibly bright, like it was on fire. It never lost its intensity. I saw no tail but assumed it was my vantage point as it was approaching head-on. I was positive I was witnessing a fireball until it suddenly took a 90 degree turn eastward, and like a cannon, shot away. I could track it past the clouds visible in the picture to the left until it absolutely vanished from sight. I am an amateur ISS/satellite watcher so I immediately checked to see what objects were scheduled to make an appearance in my area, and there were none at that time. I also reported it to the American Meteor Society and have checked there periodically and see no other reports anywhere in my area of similar sightings. It’s marked as an invali! d sighting. I’m still amazed and baffled by the immediate turn this object made and the speed at which it flew away.

Dana point, CA

20 balls of light staying stationary on one unidentified object moving super slow below helicopters and planes . Couldn’t see the object just the lights hovering over Dana Point Coast everyone freaked out didn’t know what it was and as soon as it was gone everyone just mind their own business and I still till this day think it was a unidentified object because it was something not like anyone has seen before based on the lights they all stayed the same distance and the height it almost look like The size of a boat that holds shipping containers hovering right above the trees going super slow then disappeared over the hilltop

Bartlett, IL

Observed in the western sky a bright object with a bright steady glow with no movement. for 2 to 3 mintues. It was at the 11 o'clock position to the setting sun. The object than just disappeared no dimming or fading at all. The sky was clear with no cloud cover. This was the brightest object in the western sky other than the setting sun. No commercial or private planes in that section of the sky. I have previous law enforcement background. I am also a ham radio operator and a trained weather spotter. I own my own business which is a reporting service that uses mobile apps and pictures to report what we see.

Spring Grove, PA

I was driving on a road when I saw a circular ball of white light. I watched it before I drove past some trees. It didn't seem to move and looked like it was made out of metal. After a few seconds, it disappeared. I clearly saw it and even looked around the sky to see if I had missed it. The sun was very bright that day with few clouds.

West Liberty, OH

I heard what I thought was a normal aircraft, but very loud. I searched the sky and saw nothing, then suddenly saw an object moving amazingly fast. I could not easily track it with my eyes, then it turned at an at least 45 degree angle with no slow down, then disappeared. It moved too quickly to get video on my phone (I was reaching for it while trying to not lose the visual).

Huntington Beach, CA

This in a summery of an event, of a unexplained flying object encounter on a flight between Anchorage and Hong Kong. I was flying as a relief pilot sitting in the captains seat on a commercial cargo flight when I first spotted the object. I immediately pointed the object out to the first officer who also saw it. The Captain was in the back on his rest period. The location of the event was on an airway, R220, between NOGAL & NIPPI intersection, 21.4NM NE of NOGAL at FL400. The coordinates were N4632.8/W15332.6. The closest land was 67.7NM off our right. This land would be the Kuril Islands SW of the Kamchatka Peninsula, Russia. The only other know air traffic were two other aircraft that were on our TCAS. They were on our route same direction of travel within 60NM ahead of us. It was daylight as the time was 1346 local (0346 Zulu). There was a low undercast layer of clouds, some towering clouds 100+ miles in the distance, but clear at our altitude. Our ground speed was 408 knots, true airspeed 476 knots, MACH # .830, wind 252/73 and total air temperature -20 something. Our magnetic heading was 238° While I was sitting looking at the first officer in conversation, I noticed a bubble like object off the right side of the aircraft. I immediately pointed it out to the first officer. He quickly grabbed his phone and tried to take several pictures of it. Unfortunately due to bugs or dirt on the side windows, the camera focused in on the window instead of the unexplained object. The object looked like a clear sphere or bubble. It appears to be rigged like glass or plastic, however I can’t rule out a balloon. The size is relative to the distance it was from our aircraft. This is where the first officer and I have a difference in opinion. In the window, it was the size of pencil eraser. I felt that the object was within a couple of hundred yards and was maybe the size of a car. The first officer felt that it might have been more like a couple of miles away and therefore much larger. The strangest thing about this object was that we didn’t speed past it. We did overtake this object but slowly. We were moving over the ground at 408 knots into a nearly 70 knot headwind. If the object was a balloon, I feel we would’ve blown past it very fast. So what ever this object was, it seems it was propelled by something. There was no visible engines, exhaust or any thing else that resemble a know aircraft capable of traveling at such speed. Needless to say, this consumer or conversation for the next several hours. When the captain returned to the flight deck, we explained our siting and continued to discuss what it could have possibly been. The Captain was a previous F-18 pilot and both the first officer and I were civilian pilots.

Pensacola, FL

Looking through camera footage that a resident said someone was outside their unit we just found all of the footage of strange shaped lights and then a larger light that seemed to project light below it on the ground and seemed to control the smaller lights. I have sent 2 emails with 3 videos each because the footage was too long and large to send otherwise.
