Longs, SC
We were driving towards my house and I saw a weird light moving around in the sky and motioned to it so my boyfriend would look. We slowed the car down and stared at this weird light as it split off into 3, they swirled and circled one another just dancing around in the sky as 2 more appeared. They were light yellow. Eventually they all reverted back to 1 and disappeared. On our way back down the road we looked for them, but it was gone.

As I was driving, the light was red, and I looked forward, with a view of the strip. It was probably like 15 miles away. As I blink, I see something shoot across the sky, to the right, faster than I have seen anything move before. It was positioned right in front of the strip, starting in the middle of my view. It came from nowhere. There are no places to take off from directly in the middle of this area. It was almost as if it was invisible in order to get to the spot it was located, then turned visible, and immediately flew away. It left behind a line of dust, almost like you would see in the sky following an airplane. It was not high enough in the air to be an airplane, and not nearly as slow as a helicopter. It all happened so quick. The “dust” disappeared after about 10 seconds. There is no possible explanation for what I saw. It just appeared out of thin air, and zoomed the other way. I looked around at the other drivers and it looked like no one! was even paying attention to what just happened. There were no clouds visible. There is not a single way for what I saw to be debunked, or have an explanation other than something unworldly.

I was standing in my backyard garden taking photos of birds and the flowers this morning. I live near a school, and there was someone playing a trumpet on the hilltop, I looked in that direction and noticed a single object reflecting sunlight, I had initially assumed it was a bird of prey. I took several photos of the object as it passed quietly over the sky beyond my house, catching the first image as it crossed behind my neighbor's chimney. I took over 30 images, but at that distance and without my glasses I could not tell what I was looking at. When I loaded the images on my computer I was shocked to see a strange object, and in the images it appeared to change shape a few times. I have the pictures, taken today. The object slowly moved across the sky, and then rose to a very high altitude when I lost sight of it, and stopped taking photos.

I recorded this very early this morning. At first I thought it was just a street light but then it started moving and moved down towards the ground and came closer to the point that I thought it might even come into the yard. Unfortunately, I didn’t think about recording it until a few minutes after that and although it does show it moving some, it doesn’t move nearly as much as it did before I started recording. It seems to get brighter and then dim. I have absolutely no clue what this thing is. There was no noise. I’ve never seen a weather balloon so I don’t know if that’s an option. Gas light?

I have a hard time sleeping at night because Life took away my parents & boyfriend within the last 3 years. The morning of May 15, 2020 I went out to stargaze & think. It was around 3 am. I do know what satellites & planes look like in the night sky. I was looking at about 55° above southern horizon. I suddenly saw a whitish light, at a 1 o'clock position, flash on & off. Then another whitish light, at an 11 o'clock position, flashed on & off. The light at 1 o'clock did the same again. Then they were gone. It was as if they were communicating to each other. There were no clouds last night because it was 32°! I may go out again tonight.

I saw this thing in the sky that that had a really bright light. It was going faster than an airplane, but slower than a shooting star. And it looked like it was crashing to the ground.

Standing outside with my husband we seen a bright light- like no other coming our direction just above the tree lines, not even within a few seconds this light traveled from one distance to another, soon passing right over our backyard and shooting directly up into the air where it continued to go farther and farther until out of site . I ran inside to grab my camera to video, I was able to get the object at a distance via video before it disappeared.

On the night of Thursday May 14th 2020 at approximately 9:45PM I observed a group of circular objects orange in color moving from West to East. They made no sound and were not in any particular pattern. I have seen plenty of satellites and the ISS but these looked different and there were more than twenty four and they stayed in their positions and the event lasted for more than four minutes.

Wellborn, FL
I saw a light in the sky brighter than venus approaching my position from the south. The sky was clear, light breeze temp 74 degrees. The craft was moving very slowly to the north and passed directly overhead. I estimate its size as large and at about 20K feet. As it passed overhead I could make out the triangular shape. there were small lights at each point and a large bright light in the center. There was no sound and no contrail and no strobe light. Passing overhead it changed course to the east. Again no sound. I lost sight of it over Lake City. I checked flightaware for air traffic and nothing was within miles of my position. I had a strong flashlight with me (1500 luniins) And attempted to signal it there was no response. DAMN second time in three years.

A coworker and I were standing out back of hardees and witnessed a bright orange, triangular shaped craft weave through the sky being followed by a military jet. We witnessed this craft maneuver UNDER the military jet and then simply disappear. This craft was so oragnge, and so bright it almost looked like fire. Not to be confused with a fireball, it was NOT spherical, it was triangular.

Medicine park is within close proximity of fort sill the object was north and west of the base and was not over it or close to it.

My son woke me up early this morning around 3:30 because he had wet the bed. After I got him settled, the dog wanted out so I opened the door to our backyard to let her out. I looked up to see the stars but there were none, except one in the northern sky. The object was blinking red, blue, and yellowish white. I immediately thought it was odd that there was only one very bright star and then nearly immediately saw it glide to the left. I continued watching it and as my eyes adjusted to the darkness, I noticed that it was between the silhouettes of two nearby trees. It continued to move side to side, up and down, dancing between the two trees. There is no way a plane could dance in the sky the way this light did. It continued dancing in the sky until it finally moved too far to the right behind one of the trees and I could no longer see it.

Phoenix, AZ
I was on a roof watching the sky and saw a yellowish circular light appear at the top of the sky and shoot directly into the ground at a very high velocity. This was shortly followed thereafter by another similar or identical light shooting into the earth in the same manner. I have never seen anything like it and it cannot be explained due to the speed and direct trajectory into the ground. The angle at which it entered was 90 degrees with the ground, bee-lining into the planet's crust.

Tempe, AZ
At approximately 2:00 AM MST, in Tempe, AZ, I was in my back yard looking in the eastern sky. While observing the moon an extremely bright multi-colored object descended rapidly at about a 10 o’clock position from the moon. It appeared to change speed, briefly slowing then fading in brightness for about a millisecond. The object then became very bright again slightly changing direction disappearing rapidly over the horizon. The object was visible for approximately 1.5 seconds .

Strange shooting star event. Its appeared out of noway and it was a white flash of light. The brightest I've ever seen, and then as it moved across the sky it turned from white to a firey orange and then it was gone. The whole event was over in the blink of an eye.

Was on a run and heading back home down Harborview, looked up above the tree line and saw something very similar to another report I saw on here: an orange/fiery circular object streaking thru the sky but was gone within 3-5s of seeing it. Looked to be much closer/larger than a shooting star.

The reason I started taking pictures because the sky sounded like the North and South fighting in the Revolutionary War directly above us. I thought it was the calm before a Hail Storm. It's common for me to hear air traffic, since I live an hour away from an Air Base, but I've been hearing jets, helicopters, thunder without rain... at all hours of the day and night. This evening was absolutely beautiful out, no wind, sun on your back type day behind me and this Ominous cloud above the hills in front of me. I snapped this photo. You can see a small circle of light that is different from the surrounding cloud cover. If you zoom in, you can see five individual lights flying in a close pattern.

As soon I as I started to get off of the exit I saw a huge cylinder object flash light lightning with bright blue light heading at down angle and as fast as it appeared it disappeared light a time warp. It was huge and traveled the speed of light. Only reason I’m reporting this because I felt obligated.

I noticed small white flashes above my yard as I grilled. Shortly after, I saw a blue, three strobe orb fly a few feet above my house. I was completely shocked because I knew instantly that it was nothing I had seen before. As I stood there flipping my burgers, thinking about what i had just seen I had an idea. I had my flashlight on my phone on, so I flashed my light 3 times up in the sky like whatever I had just seen fly overhead. Nothing happened the first time but when i done it again the thing came back around. This time it parked and hovered in a very tall tree not far from my house. It wasn't flashing anymore but a constant dim blue light slowly weaving through the branches of this very large tree. As I continued flashing my light in flashes of three, I began to see 2 other small white lights in the same tree as the blue orb. They made no sound at all. Couldn't of been a drone because it was in this large oaktree, moving around in the dense leaves. They looked sort of like fireflies but there are no fireflies out yet. It was at about this time my wife came out and I filled her in. I tried repeatedly to get the lights to flash again but nothing. But sure enough as I was about to give up, all three lights began to move and light up! So my wife seen these lights and I knew this was something that was really there, maybe 100 yards from my house hanging in this very large tree. Doing what? I have no clue. But after she saw the lights she became frightened and she made me quit communicating with my light and go inside. This was the first time I have experienced anything like this, ever.

A round shaped object flying west to East across the sky. The object at first seemed like a satellite, no sound and moving quickly. Upon further watching the object pulsates bright to almost dark and then bright again. During its path across the sky on 3 occasions when it pulsated bright it had an incredibly bright white flash that illuminated an aura about 100x it’s small size and then continued to pulsate until moving out of view.

Around 9:20 I was smoking a cigarette in my backyard when suddenly a bright flashing red/orange orb came flying around. It was flying a little low and made no noise. The orb backtracked, went down, to the side & then proceeded to head north. I called my sister & told to her look out the window to see if she saw what I saw. She only caught a glimpse of the UFO before it disappeared behind the mountains. It was a bright flashing sphere. It almost looked like it was flashing a signal & looking for something.

I went into my back yard to take my dogs out around 9:00 pm and as I stood on my patio I noticed a strange light in the sky at about 245 degrees west,(I checked my phone's compass because I texted 2 friends to see if they could also see it) and about 20 feet up if looking at the horizon line ( but it was far in the distance) at first I thought it was a plane because it was twinkling green and red but after a few minutes it did not move. I had seen it the night before but went inside to find binoculars and when returned it was gone so I had disregarded it as a plane that I mistook. however, tonight, 2 nights in a row I have seen this strange object in the same exact spot. This time, I had my phone on me so I took video footage of it and sent it to 2 of my friends. In the video the colors are clearly changing between green, red, blue and purple. One of my friends also saw it and sent me a video back, however she saw several of these objects. I was able to get my binoculars and it was very bright and the colors changed rapidly. I turned my back to let my dogs back inside and it was gone.

Waddell, AZ
A bright light towards the direction of Heber/overgaard from Waddell, AZ that appeared to be a shimmering star, was clearly visible even to my mother without her glasses. The light was flashing too rapidly and brightly to be a nearby planet. After roughly 20 minutes, the light began changing colors from several colors as if in a pattern (red,white, yellow, blue, green, purple), all colors were clearly visible but no distinct pattern. Approximately 30 minutes after the light began to change colors, it appeared to dim or become more distant, which it then multiplied.1 light on top, a second slightly below and to the left or north, and a 3rd at the lowest point in line with the highest or 1st light. All while continuously changing colors. After roughly an hour, it became one flashing light again; which eventually dissipated entirely.
