Me and my fiancé have been seeing this object in the sky for two days in a row. It looks HUGE and has other small circle object flying over it sometimes. Sometimes it spins with flashing light and the small flying objects come and go back in through where the lights are coming from. It is also trying to really hide above the cloud. The video I’ll be submitting will explain more. Something about this just doesn’t sit right with us. I hope we will never be invaded by extraterrestrial living beings.

*I need to mention that it was a little cloudy outside and we could only see the lights through the clouds. The lights became completely invisible as they moved outside of the clouds perimeter (into the open sky where it should be more visible).* I was sitting on my balcony and looking at the dark sky and suddenly a light started to appear behind the cloud and continued to get brighter. A second light appeared on its left side shortly after and the two lights seemed like they were connected by a slightly less visible beam of light. The two lights later flew towards the left side and disappeared. I have two videos to attach and would be more than happy to explain in more detail if you are interested.

White object = chevron; blue object = orb The blue orb shape is enlarged in blue_thing.jpg. Bluething3 is also somewhat enlarged. I didn't notice the V-shaped object in whitething3.jpg until I enlarged it. [NUFORC annotation: Camera Anomaly - Probable]

I have been experiencing them on and off throughout my life. Now they are getting a lot more brazen about it. Lights on the ground flashing at me through my windows. I hear them in the bushes at night like little kids walking but I can't see them just lights right now. However, I have seen them in the past. Lights flashing in the sky. Moving in fast motions, zig zag, circular, always towards me above my head. It is scaring me and I have a family. I don't want them to think I am crazy. This is really happening and they (aliens) want to talk to me. So far they have not entered my house. I am trying to ignore them because I am scared. I get visions about a nuclear war coming and I think it is from them. I have filmed it but they told me not to send that out, so I will not show it on here. I don't want my family in danger by the government. I don't know if I should be doing this but I need help. There is a lot more to this story.

I was filming a video of the lunar eclipse out into my backyard. I checked over the footage and I saw a bright flash dart through the sky. It was a reddish orange color and it started coming toward me then took a left away from my view. It’s cold in November in northern Illinois so that checks any bugs out. It weirded me out that my girlfriend and I just so happen to be watching a ufo sightings show and had been curious for a while what I would be like to experience such.

I was walking my dog, and noticed what I thought for a moment was an airplane, but it was all lit and had a tail behind like a jet would have. But it was very bright unlike an airplane. I kept watching it, then it was coming down at an angle. So I thought it was a meteor. But then it made a sharp angle to the right. After a few seconds more it disappeared.

Oswego, IL
The incident occured on a clear sunny day with only a few clouds in the sky. While walking outside, I observed a shimmering object floating or hovering in the sky. It was cylindrical with the narrow ends at the top and bottom. It got larger which would mean it was heading southwest and, as it enlarged, it appeared to be different shades of orange as though there was a flame. I could not make out any other details. I then came across another person who also did not know what it was. I was briefly facing away from the object to speak to them and when I turned around, the object appeared to be moving north (and slightly to the west). It was much smaller and more like a yellow speck of light. At the same moment, I heard an aircraft coming from the east and then, a minute or so later, from the west. The sound of the aircraft from the east seemed like it was in the general direction of the object. The trajectory of the second plane seemed unrelated.

I had stepped outside my house to have a cigarette at approx. 9:30pm on 10/28/22 .. A light caught my eye that was position above my house but more toward the SE part of the sky .. I watched it for a few minutes and decided to grab my phone to take a video. It was a very large circular sphere . At first I thought it was a star but it was far too big to be a star .. it also was not the moon nor a plane. It was emitting a bluish green light and a bright white light that seemed to pulsate . There was a tree blocking my view so I positioned myself in the driveway to get it on video the best I could . It did not move in any direction while I was watching it , it only pulsated ...almost like a heart beating is the only way I can describe it. I am ex Navy and am familiar with what different aircraft looks like from multiple distances .. This was probably 30,000-40,000 ft up and looked to be extremely large .. Bigger than a football field . I went inside to get my roommate and by the time we got back out (within 1 minute) it was gone . There was no clouds in the sky and the weather was clear . There was other stars present as well as a crescent moon but nothing this else remotely this bright . On my video it seemed to split into two separate objects , although I did not see this with my eyes. It did not make any sound.

Aurora, IL
On October 28th 2022 approximately 9:08 pm I took my dogs outside when I look up to stare at the stars. It was clear and I could see the stars bright, when I noticed an orange glow of light flying from east to west across the sky. I tried to squint my eyes to see if there were any aircraft beacons as it flew over, but it seemed as if it was a ball of light. As it passed over where I was standing I could tell it was flying low at about any small aircraft flies, but there was no sound whatsoever coming from it. I could see the stars behind it as it flew over me, then an airplane flew by at a higher altitude and I could see the airplane's lights flashing red and green I could see the airplane's front light and tail light, and I could hear the engines too. So whatever the orange glow that flew past was, I'm sure it wasn't a drone nor a plane. Thank you for your time reading this. The trajectory of the object was from east to west over the city of Aurora Illinois.

Pekin, IL
I had just got off from work and headed home to Pekin Illinois. I was coming down Veterans Drive towards pekin and was slowing down next to Menards for the stop light. At that point I saw an extremely bright White Orb/Sphere randomly appear out of nowhere mid sky above the South Pekin area and hovered for about 2-3 seconds. It then shot towards the ground at an unbelievable speed. There appeared to be a white foggy circle around the object. This happened at 21:48. I was facing 188 Degrees South at the time I spotted the Orb/Sphere. I attempted to locate the object for approximately a half hour but was unable to spot it again. However I had noticed there were search lights in the sky that had started sometime after I had seen the object. They appeared to be coming from the North.

The black rapidly moving vessels, one following the other, I spotted in several areas of the sky and they disappeared after 20-30 minutes. I have a short several second video with electric poles in the foreground. I also have the picture of the weird emission configurations.

I was standing in the parking lot of my photography studio to get some shots of Jupiter. when I turned my camera up to the sky, it focused instead on a flying saucer that was shimmering red. It was hovering somewhere above treeline, then took off into the sky completely silently. I finally took a picture after it was gone, and when I downloaded the image, I realized it had traveled at the same angle of my 200mm lens, and there it was near the middle of my shot. Near it is a white object, or possibly energy field.

I was taking pictures of Jupiter and looked on my rear display on my camera on how the pics were turning out. I raised my camera to the sky to get more shots of Jupiter when I noticed a bright red orb enter my viewfinder. I noticed it was moving, seemingly slowly, and then suddenly it just took off. I saw it for a second, maybe two, before it bolted. There was no sound. I'm not sure how far up in the sky it was as I was looking at through my viewfinder. When it left, I quickly took a picture, the only picture I got of it. I downloaded the picture and that's when I saw the second object. In the images below, I'm including a picture of Jupiter just to give you perspective on the size of the objects. Both images were shot at 200mm.

This object was moving slowly in a straight line. No transponder lights. No wings. No tail section. No sound at all. It was very bright as if it was a light. My son and daughter and mother and my girlfriend all saw it. I also took video of it. Along with pictures. It was too low to be a satellite. Made no trail.

I was on my Jon boat fishing the moon that day was the closest to the Earth. It had been in almost 70 years I was videotaping it coming up over the horizon, wind to crafts, flying in formation crossed in front of the moon. They were massive cannot explain what I saw.

We have been coming outside at night to see what we could see and got this awesome picture. I have videos too. My boyfriend, his 10 y/o son and myself took some still picture videos last night, because they were super active last night and seen this. No sound. Very awesome!

I was driving and saw several people looking up and so I quickly looked up. I saw an object that was long and round like a jelly bean with a head that had what looked like a square box on the front . The object was not moving and hoavered above. There weren’t any windows in the craft And it resembled a submarine. There wasn’t any sound. It was totally quiet. I pulled over to see if I could get a photo. By the time I was able to find a parking spot , the craft began to move to the east- NE. Then it quickly vanished. I wasn’t able to snap a photo.
