I looked up into an early dawn sky, spotted a planet or star, and while looking at it noticed a pinkish blinking light streak across the sky. The way it flew was kind of like a firefly, erratically straight, yet horizontal. Possibly could've been a shooting star, but never knew they could be pinkish in color and the way it flew wasn't like a shooting star although it flew with the same speed characteristics.

Stonington, CT
Sighted with occupants of building. I work at boat yard nearby some very late nights, and have never seen anything of this type of areal phenomenal. Military aircraft is ruled out as I live near drills, as they fly over my home every night, no engine noise detected nor flashing hazards per aircraft of any kind. This was something I’ve never seen in my entire life.

This object was clearly round, emitting a yellow light but not to yellow flying too low and fast to be a plane. No sound and no flashing lights. Moving straight in a odd way. It was clearly not a plane. We were 2 people watching and we are not crazy. Is not the first time we see this.

Surprise, AZ
I looked up and saw 4 lights turn on and it immediately went straight up in the sky. There was no sound! I’m very familiar with the military action near here and this was not them. It gave me goose bumps and was a very eery feeling.

Chico, CA
Was scanning night sky hoping to take videos of meteors using Nikon D500/500mm telephoto lens. Observed bright object. With my finger on video button, I could only capture about 0.5 seconds of the object that was travelling at very high speed (velocity). Have observed the International Space Station (ISS) a number of times, even directly overhead; this object was not the ISS. The speed of this object was impressive. Subsequently, I edited the video from 16 MB to reduce the file size. I have attached the shortened portion of the video which is included in a powerpoint slide file. The original video data shows the video speed to be 30 frames per second. I used some very basic image filters on enlarged images of the object to get a better sense of the object profile. Frame 6 of the PPT slide file gives what appears to be the profile of the object. I am an amateur photographer and environmental scientist; just being curious about what I observed.

Bellingham, WA
My house is surrounded by tall pine trees, but you can see the stars over the house and in between the tips of the trees. I was on my back deck looking at the stars as I do on and off every night and I saw what looked like a bright white "star" move silently and quickly across the sky in seconds. I continued to scan the sky and one minute later another bright white star looking object appeared instantly right where I was looking to the left of the direction where the first originated (there was nothing there when I turned my gaze to this spot and it appeared right before my eyes). About another minute later two more of these objects appeared and created a triangle with the second object. I came inside shortly after. I see these bright white star looking objects cross the sky in the same area at least 2 to 3 times a month. The last time I saw these there were 8 of them perfectly distanced apart all seemed to be moving at the same speed and one by one they crossed the sky silently (this happened in a matter of 3-5 minutes). I have not yet been able to get video footage of this activity. When I do I will be happy to share.

I began to see the object/light from about a mile away. It had the brightness of a 100-watt light bulb at 300 feet away. It passed overhead at a steady speed, in a straight line. No blinking, no sound. A single white light. I watched it until it went out of sight, maybe 2 miles east of my home. I was on the back deck tossing the ball to one of my dogs when the event occurred. There were a few light wispy clouds overhead. Several planes went by while I sat for 30 minutes, and they all went out of sight at moments because they were above the few clouds.

Looked up while on a walk and noticed a bunch of white orbs but very very far away. They were above the plane traffic that is always very heavy around that time of day. It was as though they were staying in one place but moving sideways.

At first I thought it was a deflating weather ballon. It looked like it came down from the sky while slowing twirling. Like 6 shiney metalic orbs. I watched it for maybe 3 minutes. It came down to the water at almost the exact coordinates I provided. It was between Mill Basin Island and the New York City Department of Sanitation facility like you see in the map. Then it floated up into the sky and started traveling toward the Astoria/Long Island City coast. My window faces the water and I'm on the 15th Floor of my building in Manhattan. The sun was on it. I saw it keep going up and up and up till it disappeared into the cotton shapped looking clouds. It was so high I was afraid it would get into an airplane engine. It is a bright sunny day.

In the early mornings or late in evenings there is a star shape object seems to be much higher than most of the commercial planes in sky, and it moves at different speeds and sometimes disappears as it speed up. I don’t think it’s a jet or plane because it will appear as a star then slowly take off or change direction! I see this almost every other day or night now for weeks [NUFORC annotation: Satellite - Possible]

Quincy, IL
I was talking about UFOS and their existence stepped outside to take my dog I suddenly felt weird so I looked up quickly. Within seconds a bright light that was stationary suddenly dropped rapidly in elevation towards me and just as quickly shot off into space. The whole incident was not even 5 seconds. The light was very similar to a star. Impossible movements that no humans are capable of. I was talking about them beforehand which I thought was very odd. It was a light. It didn't have lights on it. It was too fast to capture I'm lucky I saw it. No sounds. No trail .

Cartersville, GA
Light appeared around 11:41pm it was out in the distance in front of my house not sure how far out exactly but my ring camera picked it up. I saw it would get brighter and sometimes it would stand still for a couple of minutes and kept moving to the right as well. as it kept moving to the right it would dim out. My boyfriend went to go pee outside and he never noticed it but the light stood still as soon as he opened the front door and when he came back inside the light kept moving to the right. I’m not going to include the part where my boyfriend steps outside to pee but I have the video saved if you do need it please let me know and I can attach it. Maybe it’s nothing but I have no clue what that light is for and I’ve checked previous nights before and haven’t seen anything like that like today.

Mineral Bluff, GA
On July 31, 2023 8:43 PM In Mineral Bluff, Georgia I was looking towards McCaysville Georgia From Mineral Bluff. I noticed 2 craft that I originally thought were red but when I zoomed in. I noticed a bus sized craft that floated slowly. It stayed constant for a while then disappeared. We are 1900 feet up on a mountain about 5 miles from Tennessee and North Carolina. I used a Samsung S22 on 10x Zoom. I was facing slightly northwest. The sighting starts at 32 sec into the video. I exported each frame of the video and I have 866 screenshots that can be viewed.
