May 26, 2020 · 10:32 PM · FLASH
Indianapolis, IN
Four adults (2 with PhDs, one in a scientific field) simultaneously observed a rapidly moving green pulsing light moving across the sky almost directly overhead. The speed of the flashing green light was 4-5x faster than the commercial aircraft on far-approach to KIND (Indianapolis International Airport) flying directly overhead just minutes before. After one adult in the group asked "what is that?" the blinking immediatly changed from once per second to once every three seconds, but the course (roughly southeast, across Franklin Township, Marion County) remained constant, as did speed. The object moved from Northwest to Southeast across the entire visible night sky in about 90 seconds. It was far too bright to be a meteor or satellite (it was blinking brighter than the commercial aircraft at 2k-4k altitude), and was moving far too fast to be an aircraft.

Mars, PA
I was driving eastbound down route 228 near the town of Mars PA. At first I saw three steady white lights horizontal to each other. I commented to my passenger that was weird because in my experience airplane lighting does not look like that, there were no visible red or green wingtip lights or strobes. I am a student pilot and I know what normal airplane lighting looks like. As we drove I realized we were catching up to the object and that is was hovering in place around 1000 agl. It was stationary over the woods to the left of the road. As we got closer to underneath it I could see a red light toward the middle rear of the triangular object. I thought it might be a drone at first but I have not seen any drones shaped like triangles. We then drove past it and I lost sight of it. I’m not 100% certain that what I saw is a ufo, but I honestly don’t know what else it could be. If someone could explain that would be greatly appreciated

It was around 10 PM on May 26th, I was laying in bed using my computer when a bright yellow-orangish light in my peripheral vision got my attention. I walked to the window and opened my blinds to get a better view assuming it was a helicopter because the light was stationary in the sky. I found it odd that there were no blinking aircraft lights, just a ball of bright light so I opened my window and there was no sound at all. Then it started to go higher and higher and it got dimmer from my perspective until it faded out into nothing in about 45 seconds to a minute after I first saw it. Then another one moved into view about 30 seconds later moving horizontally in the sky and it also climbed out of view like the first. I told my family and three of us watched as a third one appeared. I got my phone and attempted to record a video but I just took a picture of one of them because I hit the wrong button. After the last one climbed out of view I waited a few minu! tes and there were no more lights. I saw at least three separate objects and there was possibly a fourth because I left to go call my family and I lost track. All of this lasted about 5 to 7 minutes from the time I saw the first one until the last one disappeared. I know it wasn’t flares because flares don’t move horizontally in the sky and it wasn’t a drone because drones don’t fly that high in the sky. I tried to research to see if there were any rocket tests or anything like that in my area but I couldn’t find anything online. I’m just an average person, I’m not into conspiracy theories or anything like that so I’m not trying to imply anything like it was aliens but it was definitely unexplainable.

I was on the beach walking my dog. The night sky was as clear as I have ever seen it. It was so clear that I do not remember the last time I have seen this many stars in the sky. As I was staring up at the sky, I witnessed a small spherical object, the same brightness and distance as the stars, glide slowly across the sky until it disappeared. I thought I was seeing things, so I continued to stare up at the sky. Roughly 5 minutes later I witnessed the same thing happened again. I thought it could have been aircraft, but there were no flashing lights and these objects appeared to be deep into space and roughly the same size as the smaller stars. The second of the two objects that I saw had a periodic glare of bright light emitting from it, almost like the reflection of something off a rotating object. I have witnessed meteor showers before, but this was nothing like it. These appeared to move slowly across the sky, but were moving very fast in relation to the position of the stars.

In our area military aircraft fly over frequently. Today at about 2 pm another fly by was happening and out of boredom I went outside to watch, laying on our hammock. Three planes moved overhead, but just as they passed over as they passed over the hill between the town and our house, at this point it the back of the formation seemed to hover, then massive balls of light drifted upwards as far as I could see and the planes flew on. I stared at it for so long, waiting to seen an explosion or something but nothing happened. When I looked back at my phone to see if some kind of news story or text came up, assuming I wasn’t the only one who saw whatever it was. Two hours had passed, but I swore it had only been maybe 20 minutes. I was listening to music and only five songs had played in the time I was outside all together. At this point I was freaking out and got up to go inside, but was caught off guard by two deer standing far too close for comfort. A few feet! closer to the house sat four rabbits. None of these animals are uncommon in our neck of the woods, but staring motionlessly at the sky, undisturbed by my movement. I ran inside and called my sister but the concept was so crazy I didn’t tell her and have been locked in my house since.

Looking west, approximately 60 degrees above horizon, one bright light that varied in brightness. Size wise, imagine holding a BB at arm’s length. Moved slowly left to right, stopped, three other dimmer lights appeared, vanished, reappeared over several minutes. Stepped indoors for 30 minutes, when I stepped outside lights not visible.

i was standing on the corner of Whalley Avenue and Hobart Street waiting for a bus at approximately 12:20 PM and I witnessed a shiny silver metallic craft that appeared to be spherical in shape. it was traveling slowly toward me when I first saw it at an altitude of under 1000 feet. i lost sight of it as it disappeared behind a tree that was across the street from my location. I reached for my phone as it disappeared behind the tree thinking that it would come out from behind the tree but it never emerged.

Iwas doing a little late night stargazing. When i caught sight of rhis very strange looking craft again. I've only seen this type of UFO since. The begining of this year. This object appears as a three tiered level gold looking object. Kind of on a teardrop shape. This object was visible for at least half an hour im duration.

I was sitting outside and caught a horizontal line of lights in the sky moving at a high rate of speed and did not make a sound. The sighting only lasted a few seconds.

The incident was not directly witnessed by human observers but captured on a motion-activated TC20 Trail Camera. We have emailed the AVI file of the event. To be honest, we are not sure this is genuinely unidentifiable. It could be some kind of reflection on the camera lens, but we haven't seen anything like this before and the image seems to have dimensionality to it.

2 bright crafts seen hovering next to each other they would get super bright, then dim down. They were giving up and down until blinking out into thin air. 1 was observed heading northwest until dissapearing into my tree line.

I was star gazing with my boyfriend in his front yard and out of no where there was this giant orb of light in the sky. At first we though it was a shooting star or a satellite but then it started to move in a zigzag across the sky really fast. After a few seconds it was gone.

Moving from NW moving SE, a trail of many lights (20+) that were the size of small stars moved one behind the other in a perfectly straight line. Some where closer together than others, but all in a straight line moving the same direction together. It went quickly over our house and was silent the entire time. It moved fast and disappeared into the clouds to the SE. it looked like the lights were all tied together on a string being pulled across the sky. We all saw it and can not explain it. We were just looking at an application on my phone that showed the stars and constellation in real time as they orbit in an augmented reality. When I saw the moving line of lights, I opened the application. The application did not label the moving stars when I pointed my camera at the apparitions. We are a white family in a middle upper class neighborhood. I believe in aliens. The objects left no trail or sound.

Driving home on a back road when I saw a bright white light hovering over my car. I stopped and looked at the object closer and it was nothing I have ever seen before. The color was dark, like a gray color, shape of a rounded triangle. There was one big, bright, white light on the, what I assume is the front of the ufo, and six or seven small red lights on what I assume is the back of the aircraft. Silently hovered over my car.

Saw a white cross shaped figure in the sky, thought it may have been a bird at first, object was flying NW and never “flapped it’s wings” as birds do. It was flying in a straight line. No engine noise like a plane. Object disappearing into the sky, no clouds. No other birds or objects around it. The sky was clear blue and it just disappeared into the sky. Definitely not a bird or a plane

What appeared to be a star was noted by one observer, stating that it looked to be blinking. As we turned our attention to the "star" it began to cover a distance across the horizon as it blinked (it never moved while lit up, it would disappear and show up further away). The light then blinked in a downward zig-zag pattern, then straight down toward the treeline, where it faded from sight.

On 05/25/2020 at approximately 23:15 I witnessed a softball sized orb flashing in the backyard of my residence. At a distance I assumed the flashing was a lightning bug. As the orb approached the window I was observing it stopped moving and started glowing with a blueish white light. At this point it stayed stationary for a few seconds right in front of me. At this time there was a thunderstorm approximately twenty miles from my location so I assumed this was just ball lightning. Then a bright beam of white fast flickering light appeared and scanned from my feet to my head. Once it reached the top of the window frame the flickering light stopped and the glowing object shot up and exited my field of vision.

My wife and I were stargazing, looking north to the Big Dipper. At first we saw several white orbs we thought were Starlink (which we have seen before). But, to our surprise a beam of light, a rod, which was a pinkish rose color appeared. From this rod came 2 sets of 3 ships followed by a large triangle. The triangle blended in the sky, but it was darker in color. Each tip had a blue or white light on it. There was no sound. We knew we were looking at something so large because it blocked out the stars, especially the "handle" on the Big Dipper. The smaller crafts were in groups of 3-4 surrounding the large triangle. The color of lights or orbs were white, dark red, and amber. The crafts appeared to be escorting the triangle. At the back of the triangle, there were 2 different crafts. One was a rod with green light in the front and red light in the back. The other craft was a large orb. The colors were orange and amber. This orb rolled like a ball. The crafts came out of the southwest and turned towards the northeast. There was no vapor trail or sound. All of the crafts kept up at the same speed.

Slow moving object with flashing red/white lights (not red and green like planes, I know bc we live near the airport and see planes all of the time and this was different). The sound was a very deep almost like white noise/humming sound that also did not sound like a plane or helicopter and was most startling. I'm basing my judgment on the fact that we live near airports and also Central DuPage Hospital and see airplanes and helicopters very frequently. The object was at first seemingly still in the East and then moved right (South) and left (North). I'm sharing this bc my gut instinct was that this is different and didn't seem normal.

It was almost pitch black with just a slight ray of light coming over the horizon as the sun was setting. I was coming home from work when out of the corner of my eye I saw something that looked like it was flying like a plane but it was moving too slow to be a plane and too fast to be a drone. However, I noticed there were no green or red lights underneath the ufo like how a plane or helicopter would of had them. Considering it was almost pitch black it would be strange to not have the lights on at 9:05 pm. I also noticed there were two white lights on each side of the vehicle that didn’t blink. Another thing I noticed was that the vehicle was completely silent and made absolutely zero noise in the night sky. The lights were too close together to be a plane and too far apart to be a drone. Let’s just say if it was a drone it would’ve been a massive 20 foot wide drone which I don’t think anybody in my area owns. I couldn’t make out too much of the sh! ape but the two bright white lights on each side makes me think it had wings. The ufo flew above the trees almost too close to them to be a plane and too high to be a drone. Where it was flying wouldn't have made sense for either purpose. It flew in a straight line for 20 seconds before it was out of my field of view. Only one flying object was observed.

What started out as 4 cylindrical lights changed into one, it looked like a purple cloud. It then switched to 8 smaller cylinder shaped lights, diagonally lined up in the sky, then again back to one. Then it disappeared and the sky was clear or all cloud. There appeared to be another aircraft to the left, it had a red light then it flickered white, flashed brightly and disappeared.

On May 24th, 2020, myself and 3 others observed 4 lights in the sky. One was very active, seeming to have flashing lights in blue and red colors, with an occasional whistle light seeming to beam in an upward direction. The other 3 seemed more stationary, and were flashing. The more active one was making non linear movements in the sky, sort of dancing or going up, down, left, right and in circular motions not in any particular order. We watched it for about an hour. When I went to go check again at about 2300 all 4 were gone. The most active one as described, seemed to be doing something and the other 3 UFO were not as active as far as moving. They were positioned by twos, at an angle from each other. Imagine just the box portion of the Big Dipper, but in a diamond shape. They had to be miles apart but seemed as if maybe the stationary ones were monitoring the active one. We did witness a small red light just below the two on the left that appeared and immediately vanished.

I have photos and the exact date I just haven’t looked through my phone to get them. For so long I thought I was crazy. I was the first to see it. It was in the middle of a prayer. I couldn’t help but to gasp for air hit my friend who is closest to me on the shoulder and point to him so I wasn’t totally disruptive or disrespectful. He said something like what the ((one word deleted)) that ((malle name deleted)), who just lost his daughter locked up the whole prayer stopped the children see it and so does his fiancé. So more than 3, 4 that are adults. The rest were 16 years of age and younger is my guess. We had no idea what this was at the time. None of it had really come out besides maybe one photo on main stream news. What was totally awkward in my opinion is that I even looked behind me in that direction while we were praying for my friends are dead daughter. I don’t know what got my attention. This object did not move, it was so metallic you could see the clouds through the reflection. What I do know is whatever I seen customs and border protection Hass to have it on film as well as they have cameras that point right and that direction that overlooks the whole border. This object disappeared. I don’t know how and I don’t know why. I also found it odd that it was not being displaced by wind. I would take a lie detector test I would be cross, examined along with the others just to prove to myself I’m not crazy. This is something I am very hesitant on even reporting that’s why I’ve waited this long. I don’t want any media attention. I don’t want my name in any file. I can look at prior photos from that day and put it between a two hour window plus or minus when we seen this floating projectile. I have photos of Mike, and myself stranded on the side of I 69 that was on our way back from the funeral home. This was when we met at the park to say a prayer and do a celebration of life for Seth’s daughter. Another reason why I did not want to bring it to anyone’s attention is because how disrespectful I am for bringing this up on such a tragic day for him. I was also pursuing a job with homeland security at the time, and did not want to put that attention on myself. I don’t know what to do but do you have this information now I’ve done my part. If I start getting contacted by the news or anyone without talking to what I’m guessing, would be a federal agent who overseas this type of stuff I will not admit anything. I’m being very serious about this I will dump my phone and not speak to anyone unless it’s documented with my family shielded from ANY and ALL types of attention. None of us asked for this that day. This is some thing we would be taking to our graves because it has impacted my friends so much due to the loss of his daughter. I do not want to be a constant reminder for him. I was diagnosed with a terminal brain disease and their mental health honestly isn’t the best. All three of us are veterans, but there was more than just us out there that day that seen this. I have more photos from this day! I do not wanna share anything else without some type of protection. You can’t contact me at this email: ((deleted)@icloud.com
