Soon after dusk when sky became dark Just below Arcturus a very fast light was going traveling. After 45 seconds it was no longer visible as if traveled further out of sight. It was at a very high altitude and definitely not a plane.

West Sacramento, CA
My husband's friend was with his granddaughter and her boyfriend flying his drone when they saw a triangular shaped craft in the clouds at a very high altitude; higher than normal planes fly while approaching Sacramento Airport in the area. It was reflecting the sun as it flew from cloud to cloud in a circular pattern. They watched it with binoculars for about 45 minutes and could tell it was not a jet although it was about the same size. I jokingly asked him if he experienced any missing time and he said no. Altitude was much higher than the drone's 1000 feet. I have urged our friend to make his own report; I'm a MUFON member and this sighting was too good not to report second hand.

Pompano Beach, FL
I’d just finished a walk around the Pompano Beach Airpark Bike Trail. The grounds encompass ±1,000 acres and include a public airport (PMP), Goodyear Blimp operations center, horse stables, outdoor shopping mall, municipal golf course and dog park. My vehicle was parked in the public parking lot located at the southeast corner of the property, approximately 25-feet from a chain link fence that denotes the border of the airport grounds. I frequently park in that lot and have become accustomed to seeing aircraft take off from runways 28 and 33. The confluence of the runways is ±1,000-feet west of the fence line at that location. Airplanes that take off from runway 28 fly directly over the parking lot at a very low altitude. The weather was clear and visibility was excellent. I had my (prescription) sunglasses on and was monitoring some thunderclouds that were forming off in the distance, to the west/northwest. I was sitting on the tailgate of my truck, facing the airport. I’d just removed my shoes and was looking down at my feet when I heard an airplane making its way down the runway. I looked up to see a small prop plane that had just taken off from runway 33. It was headed south/southeast, moving right to left, and was ±50-feet off the ground when I focused in on it. Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed an object at a higher altitude that was moving left to right, in the opposite direction of (i.e. towards) the airplane. From my vantage point, the object appeared to pass directly over the airplane. I thought to myself “the pilot must have seen that.” Because the object was much smaller than the airplane, I assumed that it was a helium filled party balloon. I looked away and thought how dangerous it was for something like that to be floating in the airspace of the airport. Immediately, something didn’t sit right with me. I looked back, relocated and started tracking the object. I watched it very closely for ±5 seconds until it was out of my view. It definitely wasn’t an airplane, helicopter, balloon or any kind of drone that I’ve ever seen. I don’t know what it was. It stuck out like a sore thumb, thanks in part to the contrast provided by the backdrop of the thunderclouds that were forming in the distance, but more so in the way that it moved. It moved effortlessly and never varied in speed or altitude. It was as if the object was gliding on an invisible track or rail. Most curiously, it seemed to be tumbling, every which way. Nonetheless, its trajectory was in a perfectly straight line and it was moving much faster than the plane. It was surreal. The shape of the object has proven difficult to describe. It had no discernible points, edges or sharp angels. Rather, everything was rounded and smooth. It was slightly oblong, kind of like if you squished a football from end to end. - It was the size of a large trash can or 55-gallon drum; - It was flying at an altitude 2 to 3 times higher than the airplane; - It was moving 3 to 4 times faster than the airplane; - It was solid black and not reflective; - It didn’t have any windows, doors, seams or markings; - It didn’t have any lights or make any sound; - It didn’t have any props or rotors. Although there were other cars in the parking lot, no one else was around. Presumably, they were out on the trail. There may have been people on the golf course who saw it, as it flew right over it and out of my view. I pulled out of the parking lot at ±7:15 PM.

At around the event time, me and some members of my family saw a single distant light, or reflective object, in the sky. It wasn't moving, but about 10 minutes later it was in a different location in the sky. The same thing happened about 15 minutes later when we saw it in a different location again, but this time it moved across the sky slowly from east to west. After it stopped moving, it disappeared again.

Fredericksburg, TX
On the morning of 5.20.2020, a friend and I were playing golf at Lady Bird Johnson golf course in Fredericksburg, Texas. At 12:20:56 p.m. I took a photo of a silver object in the sky above the 9th fairway. The object appeared to be about 40-50 feet in the air and moved up and down a couple of times. As I neared the object, my cell phone spontaneously emitted a loud warning and transmitted an Emergency Call to 911, Sprint, my wife and the club pro. My golf partner also took a photo. His was from a different position, more nearly under the object. We looked for, but didn’t find, a connection of the object to nearby structures, including trees. When we looked again, shortly after completing our round, the object had disappeared.

It was a 100% clear day with no clouds or haze whatsoever. I saw one light or silver colored object in the NW sky, too high to determine the shape. It was stationary and silent. Suddenly, it darted with tremendous speed to the E, covering a great distance. A second later, as I could still see it, it was poof...gone. This is my third sighting in the same location since April 28, 2020. Whatever these craft are, they can remain stationary, dart across the sky at great speeds, and blink out in an instant. There is a Naval Military base NE. Could the craft be observing or monitoring it? The objects/craft I've observed are silent. The Naval Base planes can be easily heard although the base is miles away and their planes are too far to see as a rule. One of several reports from same source. PD

Solon, ME
Awoke at 2:30 am, highly aware as sightings have continued since first Initial Report on 2/29/20. Low flying Craft travelling East to West with Red Flashing light. Later, low flying craft heading West to East with red flashing light on bottom. Was able to see craft was Triangular in form. In between sightings have been white lights hoovering in all directions then light intensifies for a few seconds. Also, while on phone a red what appears as a low level firework appears off in the wooded area. At approx. 20 degrees. These proceed in a variation between white and red with no apparent sound. Highly wooded Area all around. 1000 Population residing in Solon. Dismissed it until last evening, while watching a You Tube video in the UK with one craft that splits into two with firework trails behind them. Spoke with my ex husband this week who has a friend that is a logger, cutting trees approx. 6 to 8 miles from my home.Before sunrise at his yard ,a ship was there hoovering and 3 other Crafts appeared, connecting themselves by beams of Lights/Lazer's . My ex had not believed me until talking to his friend. I have acquired his phone number but would rather speak to him in person. There is also a Video someone has, who saw maybe the same ship I saw on 2/29/20. Here, also in Solon Maine. This was taped on Route # 201, 2 miles South from me. I have an inspector from Augusta Maine who closed the First Initial Report but can reopen it after seeing the Video or coming to Solon one evening to view the sky with me. What I have seen is a Carbon Copy of the Video the Turkish Government has released with what appears to have 2 Occupants seated in it. With the Allagash Incident and The UFO in Starks Maine 1981 I hope there will be more interest in what I am Viewing. Especially, with the frequency and duration and other sightings seen other than myself. Thank You

I heard a very loud sound, I thought a plane was coming in low at first. then the sound changed. it was high and low almost interwaving. I looked out the window only to see this weird pill shaped object hovering while maneuvering in these odd circle patterns. It was darker than everything around it but that made it almost more noticable. it was extremely low and shaking/vibrating. Out of no where it zoomed out so fast i couldnt really tell which way it went.

Boise, ID
I was walking home from a friend's house when I saw three amber lights in the sky flying towards the Mountains, northwest of Boise near Bogus Basin . The three lights flew in perfect formation in the shape of a triangle. I do not believe this can be accredited to a flare or other earthly aircraft as the perfect formation in which they flew. I am a skeptic and this is really scaring me.

Me and some of my work colleagues were staying late after a social distancing barbecue. Coming from the Southeast were a trio of orange-amber lights emitting objects. I quickly pointed them out and all 8 of us all stared dumbfounded as these three lights made their way across the sky heading towards bogus basin ski resort. They appeared to be flying at a normal aircraft height however it was hard to tell. They flew in a triangular pattern, like nothing I’ve ever seen. A perfect V formation. As a firm believer in science I can find no explanation for both the glow and formation these flying objects produced. On behalf of my coworkers this is a report coming from all of our eyewitnesses. I am hoping this was simply a trick on my eyes, and I’m sure this is probably the only sighting of these aircrafts.

i saw them between 11:15 and 11:30 ((pm))they were three lights flying in a triangle shape an amber color then changed to red. they just appeared in the sky and were flying towards the northwest. the only reason i see it was because it made a loud noise like “zoom” and it emitted two object of at least one that i could see after it passed by it left a white trail marking the direction it was going

My good friend and I were out late long boarding and messing around, when the sky became brighter for some odd reason. We didn't think anything of it really until my friend looked up and her face was blank with expression. Silenced. I looked up to see what she was looking at and it was a bunch of lights forming a smallish triangle slowly heading West. After a couple seconds it speeded up and completely disappeared in the clouds. I've never seen anything like it. I didn't believe in aliens really until now. It makes my stomach turn just thinking about it. I might sound crazy, but this wasn't just another strangely shaped airplane.

I was just watching the stars through a 70% cloudy sky, and saw a satellite heading NW of normal brightness moving at normal speed, then it turned really bright for a second, like it was rotating the bright a light mounted on one side, and seemed to roll over the other side in a smooth motion. Like the light on top of a Lighthouse, spinning around one time (as opposed to a regular lighthouse spinning repeatedly). It kept travelling at the same speed, and seconds later I saw another satellite coming from a different angle heading south, but the same speed. Then a third appeared from its own angle going SW, and this one pulsed bright for a second just like the first one, all of them white moving dots. They all crossed paths within 15 seconds of each other and kept going. My phone camera couldn't capture the video, the whole event lasted about 90 seconds. Ambaum & 125th St. At 10:46PM 5/19/2020.

While walking my dog on Tuesday from 9:45-10:18 ((p.m.)), I witnessed a constant flow of hundreds of satellites travel across the sky for roughly 33 minutes. The satellites were traveling from a north east to south west direction. It looked as if someone cast a net of hundreds of satellites over the sky. They traveled in the same direction were similar sizes and moved at the same constant speed. The sky was so full of these satellites that it reminded me of watching rush hour traffic on the freeway. I watched until the “satellite traffic” thinned out and cloud cover obstructed my view. I want to make it clear that I saw HUNDREDS of satellites and these were not the Star Link constellation or any type of meteor shower. I am an avid sky watcher and know that these were satellites. I realize that you collect UFO sightings, but I didn't know where else to share what I witnessed. I’m curious to know if anyone else reported seeing them or if anyone knows what their purpose might be.

I was talking on the phone with a friend, using a Bluetooth headset. I decided to walk out on the balcony of my 17th floor condo to finish the conversation. While talking, I noticed that there were a few bright stars or planets in the western sky. As I was looking at them, 2 red side by side lights to the left of the stars caught my attention, flying in my direction, west to east. I thought it was a plane, but I rarely see planes come from that direction so it was a little unusual. I didn’t think much about it and continued my phone call. At this point something unusual happene. The two lights began to slow down rapidly and came to a stop. They stopped just before they would have flown over my building and out of my view (the building I live in has 46 floors). I thought maybe it was a drone but it seemed kind of high in the sky and I did hear any sound coming from it. The person I was talking to said I said “WTF is that?” I told him what I was seeing and he told me to take a picture of it. I remembered I was on Bluetooth and my phone was on the kitchen counter. I rushed inside, got my phone, came back outside to take the pictures. When I looked up to find the reds lights, there was now only one small red light visible, still stopped in the sky. I took 4 pictures of the sky where the light was, brought the phone down to switch to video but when I looked back up the light was gone. So I took a picture of the western sky where the bright stars or planet were. My friend on the phone was listening to my commentary while this was going on and said I sounded like one of those people on those UFO shows while it was happening. We laughed if off, I couldn’t explain what I saw so I decided to drop it. About and hour later I decided to look at the photos I took. I realized then that I captured the red light in the photos. I zoomed in to get a better look at the red light and took screenshots of the object in the photos. I don’t know what it was and didn’t want to jump to conclusions. I will email the photos.

Healthcare workers were standing on the roof of a parking garage at a local hospital in the shape of a heart for a photo shoot with a drone. Several of the people noticed a white, circular object thousands of feet high over the group, while looking up to watch the drone. The object was moving slowly.

I live on the 41st floor looking north and i noticed what i thought was a metal balloon floating towards the west but it was further so i thought it was like a bed sheet but it wasn't changing course so i watched it and it was about a mile from my location still moving westward and its altitude was about 380ft (figured using the building next to it) and it was shiny metal almost like white gold and it reflected the sunlight to shine about 4 or 5 times while i was watching at a pretty slow tempo compared to how fast it was moving - it continued west and increased altitude about 15/30 ft but stayed relatively level - I didn't see where its trajectory was coming from but it seemed like the same course. it didn't disappear irregularly but was out of sight maybe within 1.5 minutes. The entire time it did not exceed my current position in altitude - not trying to be too technical just trying to be accurate. It it was spinning it seemed to spin counterclockwise. I ! often see planes fly by and relative to the speed of a plane it was moving maybe 2.5x as fast. Ah the shape was difficult to resolve - I would say it was close to the dimensions of a fedex truck or shipping container. It was rounded though no sharp corners so its profile looked like a bar of soap without dimples or a puffer fish but if it was spinning then i dont know what shape it would actually be. It is also very windy today and the object didn't seem to be affected or make any overt sounds (and i can hear sirens at that distance easily). [currently there is a fire on the train tracks directly below where the object passed over and my internet was bad for a while but i really dont think they are related]

While out walking my dog, I spotted an object/craft quite high in the NW sky. It was light or silver in color, too high/far to be certain of its shape. It shot across the sky, silent, with great speed heading East. Too great to have been an airplane or other typical craft, covering an amazing distance almost instantly. Then, it simply disappeared as if blinking out and was gone. The weather was clear except for a few scattered clouds but non were anywhere near the object as I observed it. The sky was mostly clear and blue with no haze or smog. On April 28/2020 I saw/reported three objects in the same location, in a horizontal row that remained stationary then blinked out in an instant. One of several reports from same source. PD

I usually just go outside and start taking sky pictures and later review on my laptop. The picture I'm submitting to you shows a craft I've never seen before. The camera I used for the photo was a Canon SX740 HS and was set at 40x optical zoom. IMG_0056.JPG
