New Middletown, IN
The sun had just went down and the sky was clear with just a few wispy clouds. It was still light out, dusk. My toddler son and I were looking at the full moon and for birds in the trees when I saw it. I had never seen a UFO or other sky phenomena before but I knew this was not a plane or star. I immediately sensed it was abnormal. Abnormal because of its brightness, size and type of light it emitted. I immediately grabbed my binoculars and watched it for the next 45 mins into total darkness. Within a few mins of watching it I also noticed Venus began to show up in the sky just a few degrees away (about the same height), so I had that to compare it to. The whole time I was observing the object it moved slowly away from venus toward Orion, specifically the belt. It was moving toward orion as Orion was "moving" toward the object. I observed this by standing in the same spot. No fast movements were ever observed. Desciption of the object: Size - When I first saw it the object was maybe the size of a golf ball (from my POV) if someone was like 10ft away and threw it up in the air. I had the sense that it was an object that was very high in the air and a good distance away. I never felt like it was "close". As the time went on it got smaller and seemed like the shape flattened out. Shape - When I viewed the object with binoculars it appeared spherical. Little doubt in my mind that it was not ball or sphere shaped. The shape became flattened or distorted as it moved away and got smaller. Light and Color - When I observed it at first with the naked eye, it had the familiar light color of a welders "spark, flame" (whatever its called) but did not hurt my eyes. Kind of a hot electric blue-white light. When I viewed through binoculars it was almost like it had a prism of colors in it like it was one color. It had an outline but was kind of undefined. It was like an "electric bubble". Really the best way to describe is "a perfect ball of energy". It got dimmer as time went on. Other observations: before I grabbed my binoculars I noticed for a second that it appeared to emit a greenish light, almost like a flame, on the top then on the side. That only lasted for a second. This initially made me think maybe it was a green light from a plane but of course it wasnt after further observation and behavior and seeing it through binoculars. Like I said I noticed venus nearby shortly after seeing the object. The object was much larger, much brighter than Venus. When I looked at Venus with binoculars or any other larger star later on, they kind of just look like a "pin prick". When I looked at this object with the binoculars, I knew I was looking at a three dimensional object. Of course this was at the time when Venus was the only thing observable other than the moon. I actually pulled up my SkyMap app to confirm and there are no stars that it could have been. I cannot stress enough how the object was a perfect sphere when observed through binoculars. This was not something I saw for 5 seconds and said UFO! I observed this for close to an hour straight. An entire dialogue played through my head trying to figure out what it was or at least disprove it being a ufo. I'm just a layman but theres no way it was a manmade object and I find it hard to believe it was some natural atmospheric phenomena based on how long it lasted. I really want to know what it was if it was in fact something like that. First time in my life Ive seen something I cant explain.

Bright Yellow object heading east bound at a pretty decent speed, no binky lights at all, just one solid color. Another object appeared heading north west bound for about 20 seconds then disappeared.

The object was coming from the west, and was completely silent. It had a large white light that kept going back and forth, almost like an eye. It gave me the creeps and I froze, not wanting it to see me.. It suddenly vanished after passing over Bath Road. We proceeded to walk, and a second, identical object appeared following the first object. That one disappeared also! Again, I had that creepy feeling and felt like I did not want the object to detect us. They looked sinister. Unfortunately, I left my phone at home on the charger, so I could not take a picture.(MUFON CMS)

I have seen strange lights in the sky many times before and not been able to explain it, but this one stood out to me and struck a chord for some reason. I am writing this 4 days after the initial sighting, because soon after something else unsettling happened to me. I’m not sure where to write this story for you, or if I should include it. Because it may seem a little crazy or maybe even like nothing big at all,

Will try to figure out exact area, LA
I was on a flight from Rdu to Dal. It was approximately 4:30 pm. I believe it was over Louisiana, but I will need to recall better if I can review a flight map. It was over very barron farm land. History and Acredidation: I have been a Nicu RN for 24 years. I have an educational background of molecular and zoological biology as well as advanced Nursing degrees. I was married to a pilot in the Royal Norwegian Airforce for many years, and lived at Andoya' Airstation, Eglin airforce base, and other airforce bases. My husband was a Captain who piloted P3 planes, and trained students in the U.S. and Norway. I traveled with him on several sized aircrafts. I became quite familiar with planes and their operations. Before this marriage, I was married to a Major in the Marine Corp, and became familiar with their aircraft and ground tactical equipment. I worked on base as a government employee. I grew up in the Washington, D.C. area, and my parents both worked for the C.I.A. I am 50 years old, and of sound mind. This sighting has haunted and perplexed me from day one, and I can't make sense of it even with a couple of years of trying to persuade myself that it was of advanced military nature. I am hoping someone else saw the same occurance, and that this report can add to similar sightings. I am looking for answers as best that you can supply. When filling out the report, when one of my choices were "changing" and "crosses", it made me pause. Are crosses a typical form seen? This is the first shape that I saw for a short few seconds. The following is what I saw: (Details of time, dates and area will absolutely be off.) I was sitting in a window aisle of my plane about 2 aisles behind the right wing. We were heading West towards Dallas Love Field. No houses , buildings, roads, airstrip or airfields were noted in the area below in my field of vision. I made a conscious effort to look for anything other than crop fields after viewing these flying objects.. Approximately 8,000 feet below us (?), and about 5000 feet North of us, a quick glimpse of silver crosses appeared in my vision after approximately 2 small glimmers of bright yellow light appeared at the same time. The objects appeared as if in a strobe fashion, but the flashes of light were quick and instant. Not very noticeable flashes . To simply describe; The objects were not there one second, and suddenly they were there. They were horizontal, tubular, pale, whitish silver, crosses that had a glowing light to them after the two tiny bits of flash lighting. The "glowing" was not similar to sunlight falling on a reflective surface. This light was brighter in nature with sharp spheres of light that came off of the cross like object, but the brightness lasted only about 1 second. Within approximately 3 seconds they formed into what appeared to be slender airplane like objects with no glowing light, but they were not similar to any of the many military planes I am familiar with. They had not changed direction or altitude during this transformation of cross shaped to more aerodynamically shaped. They did not gather reflection off of different spheres of sunlight. This was distinctly, not reflection from sunlight. I can describe them as being the size of a 737, but much more slender and cylindrical like a Valkyrie, only shorter. Again, nothing of any military appearance that I had come to be familiar with. What made me continue to focus on them was the fact that these two large items of aircraft were utilizing a very small area of airspace to make their maneuvers. No plane of this size would be operating in their flight manner in such a small area, let alone, two aircrafts this large flying so close together in the fast and erratic pattern that they were. I can describe the size of the area as being about 900 square feet. The crop below looked as if it could be about 20 acres. I own 20 acres myself in Texas, and it was of similar size. The objects stayed in this small area while doing their impressive maneuvers. At first, the flight patterns of each "plane" were crossing each other in quick, short, bursts of power while still maintaining themselves in this same small area of airspace. One would go under the other or diagonally go in front or behind the other. I saw what seemed to be hesitation of forward or diagonal movement for less than 1/4 second intervals. For approximately 10 seconds, it was erratic cross patterns of flight that would reasonably be unobtainable in any aircraft of this size and length, and again, in such a short area of distance to each other. I got the sense that these crafts were possibly featherlight in weight as they had a bit of floating characteristics when not in their burst of energy fast mode. After the erratic, slow, and then fast flight patterns of these plane objects, they broke into a tandem pattern with one object diagonal, and what seemed as slightly lower to the other. They then flew North East in a diagonal pattern for about 400 feet(?). They were there in that tiny area, and then in what I can describe as faster than lightening quick speed, they dissapeared. I say dissapeared because they did not fade off as if flying away. They just dissapeared as I intently focused in on them. No glowing of light accompanied the dissapearance. They disapeared quicker than they appeared, and there was no light at all accompanying the dissapearance. I remember feeling dumbfounded on what I had just witnessed. I kept focusing on the area for what seemed to be another few minutes. I unbuckled my seat belt to turn completely around in my seat to stay focused on the same square 20 acre crop area, clearly thinking they would reappear again, and that I wasn't imagining this dissapearance. There were no clouds in this area, and the glare of the sun was not interfering in my focus on them. I can imagine others would not be focusing in on these far away objects unless they recognized, as I did, that something was very "off" with a regular aircraft's capabilities. It was clear blue sky for the most part, but the distance of viewing was far enough away that it required some good focus, but more importantly, interest of odd behaving aircraft. The subjective feeling I gathered while watching this event was that the objects were in a situation that they were trying to gather control of. It seemed as if the erratic and dangerous moves were the object's ways of trying to get back in control. It didn't seem like a training exercise. It was too erratic, undeniably dangerous, and made little sense to do what they were doing, finally gain control, form a parallel pattern with each other, and then dissapear again. I kept my sight on them from their immediate appearance and immediate dissapearance. At no time did I see an air trail or any other lights omitted from the objects other than when coming into my vision and going from cross like to having formed wings and being slightly wider and longer.. Throughout this time, and after the dissapearance, I remember listening intently to anyone around me making any comments on what had just happened. I heard no comments. I can't imagine that the object's appearance would be visible to the pilots unless they were glancing in the same area as I was. They would have had to have been positioned in a right angle to see behind, diagonally, and below them when they appeared visually in the sky. The distance of the crafts were far enough away to not raise any awareness than another unidentified object was too close to their airspace. The objects were at an altitude similar to that of about 12000 feet . I never knew there was such a possibly legitimate place where one could report their sightings before today or I would have already made this report with more accurate details to time and place. I can most certainly find my exact date, time, and flight number if my report seems to be of similar odd occurances that others have seen or if there is interest to prove further on this

I noticed a bright white light through my blinds where the trees are thick behind my home. It was above the large cleared area in the trees. It is typically very dark there. I looked through my blinds and saw a light through the trees. It was an almost sphere like shape at times shining very bright and seemed to be hovering in one spot, but movement was noticeable as it hovered. I could hear a low humming sound. At times the light would appear to have a beam and other times it would fade and dissapear. When the light reappeared it would become very bright. It looked similar to a near full moon hovering lower than the tree tops, but it was not the moon.

The light sat just above the mountains. Initially thought of as the shine of a planet however the light dimmed to a small dot. It stayed in place then wavered. After this action it was thought to be a helicopter or a plane. However, not additional colored flashing lights, like a plane were visible. After it had dimmed and wavered it had started to shine again. This shine wasn’t as bright but it was brighter than it was after it dimmed. Then it disappeared amongst the night sky.

Two extremely bright light flashes were visible in the dark - illuminating from the ground up. One followed the other each lasting less than a second but with about a 4 second interval. This was not lightening - and I double checked the NOAA weather site - NO LIGHTENING WAS IN THE AREA. THE LIGHT WAS SO BRIGHT IT ILLUMINATED ABOUT 1/5THOF THE SKY

Cheshire, CT
It was pretty far away but we seen small star like objects moving across the sky, one after another, there had to be 30 of them. It went on as long as we watched which we watched for at least an hour. This also occurred again on either the 7th or 8th, the same thing happened. Not sure what this is but I cannot find anything online that would explain what we saw. So they looked as if they were stars but they were moving. But not the way a shooting star would, I have seen those before as well. This was different. This was creepy feeling. Anyway, thought I would report it. At times the light would get brighter & dimmer as well.

We were standing on our back deck and noticed a bright moving object. It was bright and ball shaped to the human eye. We got out our camera and captured what we believe to be a UFO. This was around 11pm. We watched for a few minutes the object disappeared and then came back. It wasnt moving fast at all.

Bright orange fireball moving overhead toward the south and then slowing to move southeast. Object appeared to be in orbit and was visible beyond stratus cloud layer. The moon was slightly visible during the same time. I speculatePossible falling satellite burning up on entry.

It's April 5th 2020 at approximately 9:50 p.m. I step outside I look up at the night sky at first glance I think I see a helicopter. At closer inspection I noticed that it was a orange glowing sphere that was floating across the night sky very slowly. I quickly run in to grab my phone to record it. Aware that the craft might have its sights on me I quickly flip the light switch on and off for Enough time to see where my phone was. I grabbed my phone run back outside the very second I pointed my phone at the craft. The craft slowly began to fade into nothing. If there are aliens Among Us right now it would make sense for them to observe us right now because everybody is inside not looking up.

Calhoun, GA
At approx. 9pm, we were sitting around a campfire in our backyard. We live outside the city limits of Calhoun in the Sonoraville area. My property is located in the flight pattern of the Atlanta Airport so at any given time we can see several jets in the sky usually in the same altitude and patterns leaving Atlanta as well as arriving. I was observing the moon and stars when an orb shaped object came from over the tree line out into the open with a very unobstructed view. It was an off white glow and I called its attention to my son and two grandsons. It moved steadily and its light did not fluctuate. There was no sound and no vapor trail. I mention this as all the jets overhead are audible and with the moon being nearly full their vapor trails were visible at night. It was not moving at a high rate of speed but was lower than the usual jets that fly over. It was moving from North to south and when it entered the glow of the moonlight just seemed to vanish. ! I insisted it flew into a cloud but my kids all said there were no clouds. A minute or so later we observed a jet moving south in a similar pattern and it did not disappear when it passed the moon. Curious if anyone else saw this.

Molalla, OR
At 20:45 on April 6th, 2020, my father and I saw what looked like a star in the Western sky. It then became apparent that it wasn't a star or a satellite. It was omitting a glowing, steady, white light. What made us pay more attention was the fact that it was flying fast at a low elevation. It was traveling from Northwest to Southeast. We then heard the sound of an F-15, which is a common occurrence around where we live. It's a common trail that the Oregon Air National Guard flies their F-15s. It appeared as if the F-15 was attempting to intercept the craft. The craft did not change its speed, and headed South/ Southeast. The F-15 seemingly paced the craft until out of sight, below the horizon. The whole event lasted maybe two to three minutes. We didn't see either the F-15 or the craft again. My dad knew the sound of the F-15 and that is what alerted us to look for it. What was also odd was the fact that the F-15 was flying alone, because we almost always s! ee them flying in pairs.

Jonesboro, AR
04/05/20 20:30 hours, just after dark, clear sky. I went outside to look for our cat and looked up to see a very bright white light, about as high as a jet moving west to east. I saw no other lights except a singular bright white light. About 3/4 the way across the sky the light abruptly turned off. The light did not flash or change speed or direction. At first I thought it was the space station passing over, it occured to me that the space station isnt that bright. It moved about as fast as a jet, it was high as a jet. A minute later I did see a jet fly south/north. The red lights were clearly visible, I could even see the engines glowing. I mentioned this because I know a jet when I see one.

Went outside to see why and saw a red and blue rhythmically flashing light in the southern sky. It appeared to be stationary for a second, then it plummeted downwards at an abnormally high rate of speed then disappeared. Immediately after it disappeared the dog stopped barking and then I realized my entire body was covered in goose bumps. Never had anything like this happen before.

Noticed bright light during cloudy night. Watched it because it didn't seem like a star, too bright. After being stationery around 15 minutes it started to move quickly, horizontally a good distance and stopped. Then turned, very reflective, and went back to original stationery location. After another 15 minutes it took off to our south and disappeared.

At approximately 23:30 on 4/4/20, I proceeded outside to walk my two dogs. While out in the yard, facing East, I noticed a very bright Orange/Red glowing object in the sky, traveling North to South. I observed the Light for a moment before I realized that it was NOT a Plane or Helicopter. I hooked my dog to the gate of my fence and went back into the house to retrieve my Wife to both verify what I was observing and to allow her to observe something I felt was highly unusual..
