East Amana, IA
Sunday May 17, 2020, 10:00 AM, A lime green object noted on top of a slight hill in a clearing, with shrubbery to the East and a larger stand of trees to the west, in front of a pond and wooded and 500 feet north of the Iowa River in Monroe Township, 3 miles East of East Amana, 1 mile south of Amana RD NW. With the aid of field binoculars the object appeared to be the object appeared to be pulsating, shimmering and appeared square in shape with white markings, there were also what appeared to be 2 light brown figures moving around the green shape. As I traveled across the valley moving toward the object the 2 small brown objects then appeared to be moving on each side of the green object. There is a slight incline from the floor of the valley to the crest where the green and white object was spotted. Within 300 to 500 feet from the crest of the hill, suddenly two round shapes rose from the ground. One of the spheres was approximately 50 feet from the other sphere traveling in a diagonal northerly direction, keeping equidistant from each other. What I had probably first observed was the top of one of the objects and the other object was down the south slope of the incline. The shapes appeared to change color from white/fluorescent green in color to metallic dark green and almost black in color. The objects were each at least 10 feet across and spherical in shape. They did not emit any noticeable noise; the objects rose slowly up into the air approximately 50 feet from the ground, where they then traveled along the several ponds in the area moving in a north easterly direction. The objects continued to rise in altitude to accommodate clearance of the large stand of trees by the forest. They continued to travel diagonally, side by side over the next half of minute until they disappeared climbing briskly into a bank of clouds overhead. After they had disappeared I searched the hillside but was not able to identify any impressions on the ground or any other individuals. There were ducks swimming in the pond and they did not fly off until I breached the water. There were also frogs which then jumped into the water as i searched along the pond bank for tracks.

4 red glowing spheres were seen in the vicinity of I - 595 near Hiatus Rd. in Davie / Plantation. The first pair were at an altitude of 1,000 ft. heading East. The next pair appeared roughly around 8:50 p.m., at a much higher altitude proceeding to travel in the direction of Sawgrass Mills Mall.

Key Colony Beach, FL
Saw 30-40 lights traveling from East to West while walking the dogs. Thought it was an airplane at first then thought it was a star. Then noticed there was 30-40 of them spread across the sky. Traveling at a high rate of speed passing the stars. No noise. Very high altitude.

Lake Placid, FL
Starting around 5:00 am on Sunday 17th, After my morning run, I was looking up in the sky and saw lights moving from the southwest to the northeast extremely high in the sky, 4 to 5 times the altitude that an airplane would be flying. This lasted for 10 to 12 minutes. There was no pattern to the line of lights that came across the sky. Sometimes they would be several in a close line, sometime side by side or even two along side each other with one trailing. Some time they were spaced evenly and other times groups of 3 to 5 would be crossing. Nothing was flashing, and speeds were generally the same as they crossed. At one point there were 2 side by side with 2 trailing close, then one of the trailing lights made an abrupt right turn and leaded away. I went inside and woke my wife to see this. Once back outside they continued for several more minutes. During this entire time, I saw at least 75 to 80 of these lights cross the sky. I counted that during one poin! t there were 16 within my view from the southwest to the northeast sky.

Monrovia, MD
A single light (with no distinct color) appeared from the southwest horizon and traveled in a straight line over our location. It looked like and behaved like a satellite but was too low to have been a satellite. It seemed to be at the altitude a plane or helicopter would be, but it did not have blinking lights and did not make sound. It went straight over our heads and continued in its straight line until it was no longer visible at the northeast horizon.

Bedford, NH
3 fiery orbs traveling in almost rank and file order one behind the other. Middle orb making an s pattern. First object dimmed almost to what would appear to be a satellite but remained orange/red in color. After dimming it slowed until beside what was the middle object. Rate of sped was slower than a small engine plane. No noise and they all vanished simultaneously

Dutchtown, LA
Saw a stationary light in the night sky. Color was changing from red to green. First thought it was an airplane but it stayed stationary too long. Then it made a quick movement across the sky, stopped and moved quickly again. Saw it far on the horizon again stationary. Then a quick move and lost sight of it. Maybe a minute later the object passed quickly overhead as a white bright light and went over the horizon. Never heard any noise.

Witnessed an oddly shaped almost sideways facing Chevron craft slowly hovering northbound along the I5 corridor from kirkland. This craft had no sound and no rotors that could be seen, but could hover in place and pivot around its central axis. A plane flew overhead about a mile from the craft. The craft hovered and rotated to face the plane which was flying away from it. It then rotated back to the north and flew off. I have pictures of said craft

I repeatedly see star color and size lights in the sky. Flying from south to north and reversed. Doing complete stops and going the opposite direction it was going. They aren't human. I've seen spiritual figures after I seen the aircrafts.

Not usually up at this time but happened to look out my window early the morning of 5/16/20 and noticed a bright orange-white object in the sky East from my vantage point in western VA. Because of clouds moving across the sky, the object was in and out of my view and at one point seemed to change shape..almost a rectangular shape, small end up. I could not discern any movement, it seemed to be stationary.This was a very bright light tho not quite neon. Eventually disappeared or was covered by clouds tho I did hang around to see if it would reappear...it did not.

1 am in the morning observed Red and white glow, brighter than stars, appeared very high in the sky. Was quiet out that night and no noise of any airplanes. The object didn't move just stayed there. Took a video with my phone but doesn't show up well.

Looked like a beautiful kite made of glass, the lights were tubular in shape, white, blue, the sound was a soft purring, flying super fast around or over 200mph, smooth and quiet, very large.

A remarkably bright white ball of light flew across the sky, no higher than a thousand feet above us. The craft traveled low, and slowly over the area from south to north on a fixed path. It made no sound.

Montrose, CO
Clear, no moon, unlimited visibility, no street or house lights, very rural area. While outside I observed a black triangle craft slowly moving from southwest to northeast directly over my house. The craft made no sound, no engine sound, no contrails or exhaust observed. Estimated from 500 to 800 feet above me, about the size of a small house, moving very slowly. Craft had a series of white lights on sides and stern, which was a rounded concave shape. No reflections of any kind seen, the white lights were quite brilliant but didn't reflect off the craft itself or light up the ground. Craft appeared very smooth with no detail or markings seen. The black color is hard to describe, it was VERY black. Observed for about 5 minutes. I've seen military aircraft in similar shapes, and there is a small airport a few miles east of me. This was not a typical aircraft, there were no typical red green running lights, no strobe lights, and no engine sound. I am a retired ! police officer, trained to observe. This sighting has really disturbed me.

This is the 2nd time this particular UFO has flown over my house. Large ball of fire seems to be spinning. Moves extremely fast then stops and hovers. When it disappears it literally just vanishes!!! I’m December we saw around 20. They seemed to make laps around a spot light the local Christian college shines every Christmas. They would make laps around and come back. In pairs or 4 together. Then a few one by one. In the sky compared to the moon they are massive. Please let me know if there are any other reports in my area. Thank you. ((name deleted))

My husband and I walked out of our home and began walking together eastward towards our neighbor’s home. We approached their house and went around back to their deck. As we stood on their deck talking, we were facing their home (south). Approximately 10 minutes after our arrival, we saw this extremely bright, pulsating object appear over their roofline moving west to east/northeast at a somewhat steady pace from what we could tell. It was about the size of a golf ball held at arm’s length. When my husband first set eyes on it, he saw it as a spinning sphere-shaped object. When I looked at it initially, it was an odd shape – like a rectangle with a circle at one end. It was not a Chinese lantern, satellite, or anything else familiar to us. It was difficult to tell how far away or above us it was. As we faced south, it appeared to the southwest at a 40-degree angle from us. We did not see any lights on it that would indicate it was an aircraft (red, green, or strobe lights), and it was silent. It was sphere-shaped, bright white with other purple-blue flashes of color and appeared to be pulsing and spinning. It was difficult to focus on with! your eyes to see any distinguishing features. Our friend tried opening a Stargazer app on her phone to see if it showed as a satellite, and had trouble getting her phone to cooperate. While that was going on, which was maybe 3-5 seconds, I looked back towards the sphere/light and noticed the object changed altitude somehow when it was about 90-degrees in front of us. It was now about the size of a dime held at arm’s length and about to pass behind a tree in the next neighbor’s yard. My husband had been trying to video the object when it was closer but the camera app crashed and he had to reopen the app and try again. He jumped up onto the deck bench to have a higher perspective and was able to begin the video recording after it passed behind the tree. The object was now to our left (southeast) at a 20-degree angle from us and at a much higher altitude. The sighting lasted a total of about a minute before it disappeared to the east-northeast at an 80 to 90-degree angle from our position. After zooming in on his video later, and watching it frame by frame, it was morphing between shapes and colors mentioned above. He took screenshots from the zoomed-in video, and took a screen recording of the original video zoomed-in on his iPhone. My husband is an engineer, has an FAA Airframe & Powerplant license, and is an amateur drone pilot. I work in accounting and was once a private pilot.

Roommate and I were eating a late dinner together when we spotted an orange ball of light flying low above the trees through the window. We’re unsure how far away it was, but it appeared to move in front of 3 radio towers, so possible a mile or so. Object was a bright orange light, orb in shape. It descended at a quick but steady pace into the trees and temporarily out of sight, maintaining the same elevation and moving in a smooth, non-linear manner. The first slope was gentle and the light was steady, not like a descending flare. It had no other lights visible. The object returned about five minutes later and was visible in the tree line before disappearing again. There was no sound and it was too small to be a traditional aircraft. We feel we would have seen multiple blinking lights, especially if it were flying that low. This is the second time we’ve seen this object. Upon looking at YouTube videos, this looks almost exactly like videos of orange ball UF! O sightings.

From my 5th floor balcony a single white light, no sound, from the South moving slowly North. Through binoculars I noted no other lights. Not an airplane. No other air traffic due to Covid. Light stopped and moved East and into cloud cover. Saw again momentarily in the cloud break. Sending video.

I was driving home with my son and his friends and I immediately said what is that it had lights covering the bottom of it and around it. We filmed it and it turned around with my flash so we went inside

I have video and would like to be contacted.. I was sitting in the hot tub with a friend when I noticed a bright white light very high in the sky. I went inside to grab my phone and capture the bright object. When I reviewed it frame by frame I also detected a black object moving at high speed. I have both object in two videos. I did not see anything in the third video and I also took two photos of the blue sky, but didn't see anything in them. The day before this happened a similar object was reported in Japan and the day after (I think) about 50 of these same object were spotted in San Diego. I have the fast moving white and black object in video. I think the white object might have emitted a trail of smaller white ones. The white objects were high in the sky, but the black one may have come closer. I was facing about East, but one of the black one may have come from the North or West over my house. Please call me this is a real and I want you guys to check it out.
