Initial sighting of smallish craft I thought it was a drone, flashing blue and white lights rhythmically. It appeared over the tree line near the intersection of US 41 and Barefoot Williams Road. It flew slowly towards the east it did not pause, was very deliberate. It appeared to maintain the same altitude from my perspective. I was able to see it against clear, dark, nearly cloudless sky. It traversed nearly 6 miles slowly disappearing from my view. It’s approximate location when it was out of. My sight would’ve been Collier Boulevard somewhere north of US 41.My dog heard it before I actually saw it. It was only moments later that it came into my view. it was a very low sound somewhat like a hum or tone. Constant sound, it didn’t change. The lights were what made it most noticeable, actual shape of the craft, for lack of a better term was almost indistinguishable as any real shape. I had believed it to be a drone at first but it flew way, WAY too far for it to be under ground based control. Unless it was a military drone which I find highly unlikely in this area. It’s slow, consistent forward motion maintained the entire time I was able to see it. There was one moment after about nine minutes of watching it where it appeared to either stop or make a slight deviation to the north then it continued on to the west. In the following hour and a half, after losing sight of it, my dog heard something outside again, and reacted very violently. There was nothing outside that we could see.

The object was descending then went dark once an aircraft approached it from the east I know it was a bit lower than the aircraft that was approaching it by using the satellite that was luckily passing by right in line of site and I used it as a backdrop to guesstimate the distance.

The object was a circle, I couldn’t tell if I was seeing the bottom or the side but I saw a light from the bottom half and it was a semi circle shape, yet it was a circle. It was grey or silver and it moved slowly to the left and disappeared in distance.

I’ve watched these lights for the past eight months they move erratically up down sideways. The number of lights divide when attempting to photograph typically the lights turn off and our seen in another location. There was roughly about 12 separate lights. They moved all around the property when I went outside to see them they followed. You could not make out anything other than the lights. I have videos and more photos, but can only upload four

It was amazing. I just took my dog out. Its daylight out so I found it kinda weird when I looked up and seen it. The lights was so bright. And it just sit there for a bit then started to move direction like up and down before it vanished from site. This may sound weird but it made me feel something I can't quite explain and I was like in a trance for a minute or so. Its the most wonderful thing I've ever seen.

Turning clockwise as it traveled over my roof..It was moving very slowly…I ran to the front yard to continue to watch it…It was gone.I somehow felt unthreatened…mufon don't laugh but I actually waved at it..This happened in the summer I think it was 2021…I didn't mention it t anyone..They may have thought me crazy..I don't drink or use drugs..I met Buzz Aldrin once if that means anything…I don't know how to copy and paste..I hope someone reads this ..thank you for all you do.

I was outside watching the meteor shower and recorded what I thought was then a meteor but upon watching the footage back I realized it was not. The object looked like a spherical shape and was pulsating and changing colors rapidly while flying in almost zig zag patterns at high speeds. It eventually flew away extremely fast and was gone within the matter of a few seconds

Sacramento, CA
I was driving to work in West Sacramento when I saw 3 orange orb-like objects I the sky over the freeway just outside of Carmichael. They formed a slight arch. They were spaced evenly apart. I didn't see them move or hear any sounds. They seemed fairly close. Farther away than the streetlights but closer than the red lights on top of the tall buildings. I observed them for several seconds but, once I drove underneath them I didn't see them in my rear view mirror.

I was outside on my back deck when I looked up and saw a bright light moving extremely fast for an air craft, it was so bright I had to close my eyes and open them to see to light changing colors from red and white to blue and white, it was a beautiful color mix that almost looked like a military grade flare but without the fire and made no sound! , I went to bed last night thinking about what I saw and I knew I had to say something because I know for a fact that it wasn’t a satellite or a plane, if you saw this on the 30th of July 2023 we may have seen the same unidentified flying object

Kansas, OK
We seen 2 objects that were triangular shaped with the corners somewhat rounded off. It had a green light and a red light one on 2 of the corners, it didn't make any sound and was not moving it was floating above the circle inn convenience store and not very high above it. Not even a quarter mile down the road was another one right past the VFW doing the same thing hovering just right above the trees. Neither one made sound nor moved as I was passing through. There was also a 3rd one that me 1 other person had seen following next to the vehicle doing the same speed as we were in oaks coming off of oaks 5 mile road it was flying very low not very far away from us doing the exact same speed until we turned a corner and didn't see it anymore. It had the same lights as the other 2 or could've been one of them that was in kansas not sure and it happened at 9:03 pm I also tried to take pics and have a video but you can only see the lights spinning.

Albuquerque, NM
I work grave yard shifts. I went outside to take a break. I noticed what I first assumed was one of those advertising spotlights off to the west of me. The light made a half circle, stopped for about 5 seconds, then returned back to it's starting point, where it stopped again for 5 seconds . It traced a half circle once again stopped for another 5 seconds then moved off in a southeast direction until it disappeared from sight. After about 20 seconds I looked over my right shoulder and saw that it was back behind my right shoulder. It was back behind me long enough for me to grab my phone and set the camera to video mode. It began moving northwest until it came back to the original spot where I first noticed it. During the time I was observing it, it made no sound. The object began to move back in a southeasterly direction again while I "filmed" it. It continued in that direction until it was no longer visible and did not return. Of course when I checked the video there was nothing recorded, so either I did not start the video correctly or my phone malfunctioned.

A few nights ago, while driving, I saw a cigar shaped sparkling object gliding through the sky from left to right, about 200 to 300 feet above me. I had my eyes on it for about 30 seconds. The weirdest thing was that there was no visible object attached to these sparkling dots or lights. I pulled over to quickly capture a video, but my car is extremely dark due to tinted windows and the area itself is filled with hills and trees and lost sight of it at that point. I continued driving and found myself in disbelief as I sat at a red light, questioning what I had just witnessed. About 10 seconds after making a right turn, I spotted the object again half a mile ahead of me, only to see it disappear over the tree line. The best way to describe what I saw is try imaging 3 or 4 large birthday sparkling candles in a row flying across the sky. It makes no sense.

I was driving northbound on I-95 to visit my mom with my daughter and I looked to my east (our right side while driving north bound) and noticed 3 lights that were in a triangle formation like an equilateral triangle. I asked my daughter what she saw she said "what are those mom"? she seemed as surprised as I was. We kept looking and saw the moved in synch. They were moving from equilateral to scalene triangle smoothly, but stayed in a formation of three the whole time we observed them. One became really bright and faded from view, the other two appeared to be moving toward us and my daughter noted "its coming this way" but then those 2 remaining lights also seemingly vanished. We live by Miami International Airport, we've observed drones at the beach, satellites while hiking in other states, this was not was not a helicopter, plane or drone. It was three lights forming a triangle, moving strangely and vanishing. The whole time we observed them we saw commercial planes flying by and are certain these were not other planes.

Objected passed by a plane during sighting. It had not flashing lights like the 4 other plane flying at the time. No sound was heard during sighting. It seems to be circular, emulating lights. No signs of propulsion or streaks emanating from object.

I was taking a picture of the sunset, and I didn’t notice the object at first. When I did, I thought it was a cloud, but that didn’t seem right to me since there were no other clouds in the area. I zoomed in on the picture and noticed the triangular shape and lights. When I looked back at the area of the sky where it was, it was gone. [NUFORC annotation: Camera Anomaly - Probable]

Union, ME
I was watching the demolition derby at the Union Fair, when I noticed a light in the sky out of the corner of my eye. I looked up and saw an apparently silent square (though it was more of what Google tells me is a squircle) of bright white light moving slowly across the sky. I glanced back to the derby, and then looked up again. The object was gone, but then reappeared. I looked back at the derby again, and when I checked again, the object was gone. I looked back, observing the sky but it was gone. Throughout the remainder of the demolition derby, I'd look back up, but I never saw it again.
